Blackburn LAC50 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn LAC50 compression lug take?
The LAC50 is sized for 400 to 500 kcmil conductor. It is an aluminum-bodied compression lug, so it takes one run of cable in that range per lug. If your feeder is smaller than 400 kcmil, move to a lug rated for that size instead; crimping an undersized conductor in a 400-500 kcmil barrel will not give you a sound termination.
2) What does the aqua color code on the LAC50 lug mean for die selection?
Aqua is the crimp color code on this Blackburn lug. Match the aqua die/index on your compression tool to the lug so the crimp depth is correct for the 400 to 500 kcmil barrel. The lug ships bare, with no insulation, so the color band is on the barrel itself.
3) Is the Blackburn LAC50 a one-hole or two-hole lug?
Two. The LAC50 has a slotted tang with two slots, so it lands on a two-bolt pad. The slots give you some play on bolt spacing, which helps when the pad hole centers do not match exactly. For a single-bolt pad you need a one-hole lug instead.
4) Can I use the Blackburn LAC50 lug on copper conductor?
It is an aluminum-body lug. Confirm the conductor material the lug is listed for before terminating copper; where the job calls for copper-only, use a copper compression lug in the same 400 to 500 kcmil range. The aluminum body is the reason this one carries an aqua die code rather than a copper-lug code.
5) What voltage and temperature is this Blackburn compression lug rated for?
600 V, 90 degrees C. That covers standard commercial and industrial feeder work with 90 C insulated conductor such as THHN or XHHW. It is not a medium-voltage termination.
6) Do I need anti-oxidant compound with the LAC50 aluminum lug?
Aluminum terminations are normally made with an oxide-inhibiting compound on the conductor unless the lug is factory filled. Check the barrel before crimping. Note the lug itself is supplied bare with no insulation, so any required insulating or sealing cover is a separate item you order alongside it.
7) Is the Blackburn LAC50 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. One lug per unit, so for a three-phase-plus-neutral termination you order four, and double that if you are landing both ends.
8) Is the Blackburn LAC50 made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the LAC50 is the United States. That is the detail institutional and government procurement usually needs on the submittal for a feeder termination.
