Blackburn AMT250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire range does the Blackburn AMT250 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMT250 is a two-port, same-side aluminum multi-tap connector rated for conductors from 250 kcmil down to 10 AWG. Both ports take the same range, so you can land a 250 kcmil feeder in one port and a much smaller tap conductor in the other without a separate reducer.
2) Is the Blackburn AMT250 connector UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
It carries UL file E9809 and CSA 6591, so it is recognized for use in both US and Canadian inspected installations at up to 600 V.
3) What does same-side mean on the Blackburn AMT250 two-port connector?
Same-side means both conductor ports enter from the same face of the block rather than opposing ends. That matters in a tight gutter, wireway, or panel wiring space where you want both the feeder and the tap coming in from one direction instead of running a conductor around to the far side. If your conductors approach from opposite directions, a straight-through or dual-sided connector is the better fit.
4) Can I use the Blackburn AMT250 with copper conductors, or aluminum only?
The body is aluminum, which is the standard AL9CU-style construction used for both aluminum and copper conductors on tap and splice work. Aluminum bodies dissipate heat well and are the common choice in panelboards and gutters. Use an oxide-inhibiting compound on aluminum conductors as you would with any mechanical aluminum lug.
5) What voltage is the Blackburn AMT250 tap connector rated for?
600 V. That covers typical commercial and industrial branch and feeder work up to 600 volt systems, including 208Y/120 and 480Y/277 distribution.
6) Is the Blackburn AMT250 insulated, or do I need to cover it after installation?
It is a bare mechanical connector block, black in finish, not a pre-insulated device. Any required insulation is added in the field with tape or a boot, or the connection is made inside an enclosure where the cover provides the protection.
7) How is the Blackburn AMT250 sold, individually or in a multi-pack?
Sold each, one connector per unit, under manufacturer part number AMT250. Order one per tap point you need to make.
8) Is the Blackburn AMT250 made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the AMT250 aluminum tap connector is the United States. That is the detail institutional and government procurement typically needs on record before release.
