Blackburn HLC2108AP9 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn HLC2108AP9 hot-line clamp take on the main and the tap?
The HLC2108AP9 is rated for 2/0 through #6 ACSR and 2/0 through #8 AWG conductors. That covers stranded 2/0 down to solid #8 on the tap side, so it handles the common overhead service tap range without needing a second clamp size.
2) What voltage is the Blackburn HLC2108AP9 hot-line clamp rated for?
35 kV. That puts it in distribution-class work rather than secondary or service-drop voltages, so it suits overhead primary taps up to 35 kV.
3) Can the HLC2108AP9 be installed with a hot stick on an energized line?
It is a hot-line clamp, the type designed to be applied and removed with a hot stick on an energized conductor. The eye takes a standard shotgun (clampstick) hook, and the protected-thread design keeps the screw threads shielded from weather and arc debris so the clamp still works loose the next time a crew needs to remove the tap.
4) Is the Blackburn HLC2108AP9 safe to use on aluminum conductor, or is it copper only?
The body is plated aluminum, which is the standard pairing for aluminum and ACSR overhead conductor. Its listed range includes ACSR from 2/0 to #6, so it is intended for aluminum-bodied overhead work rather than being a copper-only clamp.
5) Is a hot-line clamp like the HLC2108AP9 the right part for a permanent ground connection?
No. A hot-line clamp is built as a removable electrical tap, made to be hung and pulled from an energized conductor with a hot stick. For a permanent bonding or grounding termination to a rod, pipe, or steel, use a proper ground clamp or a compression connector instead. The HLC2108AP9 belongs on taps you expect to remove again.
6) What is the exact manufacturer part number for the Blackburn plated aluminum hot-line clamp rated 2/0 stranded to #8 solid?
Blackburn HLC2108AP9. Country of origin is India. Use that MPN when matching to a spec sheet or cross-referencing an existing stock number, since the adjacent HLC numbers cover different conductor ranges.
7) Does the HLC2108AP9 come in a box of multiples or is it sold individually?
Sold each. If you are stocking a line truck or a substation MRO crib, order the count you need piece by piece rather than by carton.
