In ten years using a 90 degree adapter (from West Marine) I have never tightened the ring; Never has an arc; Never had a scorch; Never had a problem.

P.S. use a Precision Industries EMS upstream EVERY TIME!

I won't take the time to research burnt failed RV connections.
But the whole premise of the RV Smartplug is that it is a better,safer connection a more secure connection vs. the standard twist lock plug
