My Dad who is a Master Electrician shows how to Install a Commercial 3-Phase Breaker, Thoughts?

What happens here

Once the captive screws are manually tightened, perform a final visual inspection. Ensure that every screw head is completely flat against the breaker and that the breaker is perfectly touching the busbar. This confirms a great and secure electrical connection. Verify that the circuit breaker remains in the 'OFF' position for safety. The circuit breaker is now mechanically and electrically installed and ready for the load wiring (e.g., MC cable) to be connected to its terminals.

Goal: Ensure a perfect connection and readiness for final wiring.

That's a great connection. And now I can turn it on and off. Of course, I'm going to leave it off and now I'm ready to put the wire in. Nice. Yep, I see the MC cable. Nice. You got a big screwdriver for me or not? Let me check.
