Verified 2026-10-29 Confidence: High

Bolted Connection Resistance is specified for metal-enclosed busways in acceptance testing at clause 7.4.B.1 of ANSI/NETA ATS-2025. The clause calls for resistance measurements through the bolted connections and bus joints with a low-resistance ohmmeter.

Value: metal-enclosed busways
