All terminals, contacts and other live parts shall be so arranged that short-circuit or destructive arcing, either between live parts or between any live part and other conductive material, cannot take place, and that no part other than an easily replaceable contact can be appreciably damaged by an arc or overheating arising from the normal operation of the equipment.
Holes for fixing screws shall be so placed that no such short-circuit or arcing can occur when the screws are in position.
