A system and method according to various embodiments can include a universal contact input status detection circuit. A voltage source wets a contact with a wetting voltage. A current mirror circuit is connected across an input of the contact to provide a constant wetting current over a wide input voltage range. The input voltage can be varied over a range wide enough to include both AC voltages and DC voltages. The current mirror circuit maintains the constant wetting current during varying wetting voltage inputs across the input of the contact. A wetting voltage sensor senses the wetting voltage provided to the contact so that the status of the contact can be determined.

A nut torqueing device (100) for a recessed nut is disclosed. The nut torqueing device includes a nut engaging assembly (102,104) to engage a nut in a recess. The nut engaging assembly includes: a nut engaging element (102,130) to engage the nut in the recess, at least one stackable riser element (132) to stackably connect to one of the nut engaging element and an adjacent stackable riser element (132,132C,132D,132F) therebelow, and a transmission engaging element (104,140) to stackably connect to an uppermost one of the at least one stackable riser element. A ratchet interface (104,106,130) within the nut engaging assembly allows rotation of the nut engaging element in only one direction, while other stackable elements rotationally interlock. A low profile transmission extends within a small space to transmit rotational power (108) to the nut engaging assembly. The nut torqueing device is applicable with a terminal nut of an electric generator.
