I had no idea about checking the torque on terminals. How do you check
that? Just a VDE torque screwdriver?
Any clue what the torque specifications are in Europe or Germany on
breaker panels, wall outlets, and Schuko plug contacts?

Tightening connections: Especially in the case of aluminum wiring, which was popular for a few years, and no doubt still exists here and there.

Its good to understand outlet ratings along with circuits and breakers. Massively loaded test benches tend to suck lots of power.
I am careful with power loads and always have been.
But also discovered heavy house loads like air conditioning can heat breakers and connections over many years. Need to occasionally retighten the power leads going into breakers and such for very large equipment.
