Blackburn ATL6-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn ATL6-38 compression lug take?
The ATL6-38 is sized for 6 AWG conductor. It's a one-hole aluminum compression lug, so it gets crimped onto the cable rather than set screw tightened, and the die/tool has to match a 6 AWG aluminum barrel. One lug per conductor, sold each.
2) Will the ATL6-38 bolt to a 3/8 inch stud on my panel or transformer pad?
Yes. The tongue is punched for a 3/8 inch stud, single hole, so it lands on a standard 3/8 inch bus or breaker pad. If your pad is drilled for two 3/8 bolts on centers, you need a two-hole lug instead, not this one.
3) Can I use an aluminum compression lug like the ATL6-38 on copper wire?
Not unless the conductor is aluminum. The ATL6-38 barrel is aluminum and it's an aluminum-conductor lug, so use it on 6 AWG aluminum. For 6 AWG copper, order a copper compression lug or a dual-rated AL/CU connector.
4) What voltage is the Blackburn ATL6-38 lug rated for?
35 kV. That covers medium-voltage terminations as well as any 600 V branch or feeder work, which is why this style shows up on pad-mount transformers, switchgear and MV terminations, not just panelboards.
5) Compression lug or mechanical set screw lug for 6 AWG aluminum?
A compression lug like the ATL6-38 is crimped with a die and doesn't loosen or need re-torquing, which is why it's specified on medium-voltage terminations (this one is rated 35 kV). A mechanical set screw lug installs with a wrench and no crimp tool, so it's the choice for field work where you have no press, but it needs torquing to spec and periodic checks.
6) What does the grey color on the ATL6-38 mean?
Grey is the die-code color on this Blackburn lug, and it's how a crew verifies on the job that the right barrel and die pairing got used for 6 AWG aluminum. Match the grey marking to the grey die position in your crimp tool.
7) How many ATL6-38 lugs do I need to order for a three-phase feeder termination?
One per conductor. The ATL6-38 is sold each, single barrel, single 3/8 inch hole, so a three-phase run plus neutral is four lugs at each end. Count both ends of the pull.
