Methods

MethodWhere
Terminal blocksBoxes, panels — standard
Spring clamps (Wago)Boxes, fast assembly
CrimpingThick wires, ground
WeldingOld standard, strong

Rules

No twists (PUE forbids); the contact must be inspected — a loose terminal heats up; in the box — access for inspection; different metals — through terminals.

Why it matters

Weak contact — heating and fire: about 30% of electrical fires start in connections.
