Blackburn ATL20-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn ATL20-12 compression lug take?
The ATL20-12 is sized for 2/0 conductor. It's a one-hole aluminum compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the 2/0 cable rather than bolted, and the olive color code identifies the die/barrel size for the crimp tool. One lug per conductor termination, sold each.
2) Can I use an aluminum compression lug on copper conductor?
The ATL20-12 barrel is aluminum and the lug is built for aluminum conductor. For a copper 2/0 run, use a copper compression lug instead. Where aluminum and copper meet at the same pad, an aluminum body on a copper bus needs the usual dissimilar-metal treatment, so check that the lug and the bus are rated for the combination you're making.
3) Is the Blackburn ATL20-12 rated for medium voltage cable terminations up to 35kV?
It carries a 35 kV voltage rating, which puts it in medium-voltage shielded cable work as well as ordinary service and feeder terminations. It's also UL listed under file E9809.
4) What does the olive color on this Blackburn lug mean?
Olive is the die color code for this barrel. On a compression lug the color tells the installer which crimp die and number of crimps to use, so match the olive index on your hydraulic or battery crimper to the ATL20-12 rather than guessing by conductor size alone.
5) Should I use a compression lug or a mechanical set-screw lug for a 2/0 aluminum feeder?
A compression lug like the ATL20-12 is crimped once with a die and is done, no retorque schedule and nothing to loosen, which is why inspectors and utilities favor it on aluminum feeders and on medium-voltage terminations rated to 35 kV. A mechanical set-screw lug is the choice when you have no crimp tool on site, when the conductor size may change later, or when you need to land a range of sizes in one lug. For a fixed 2/0 aluminum run with a crimper on the truck, compression is the cleaner termination.
6) Do I need anything else besides the lug to finish a 2/0 aluminum termination?
The ATL20-12 ships as the lug only, sold each, with no bolt, washer, or antioxidant compound included. Plan on the 1/2 inch bolt hardware to suit your pad, a hydraulic or battery crimper with the matching die, and any joint compound your spec calls for on aluminum. Order one lug per conductor you're terminating.
7) Is the Blackburn ATL20-12 UL listed, and where is it made?
UL listed under file E9809, and manufactured in Mexico. For submittal packages, the identifiers a reviewer will want are the Blackburn brand, part number ATL20-12, 2/0 aluminum compression, one hole, 1/2 inch stud, 35 kV.
