Blackburn ABP 2500 A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn ABP 2500 A connector accept?
The Blackburn ABP 2500 A takes conductors from #6 through 500 kcmil, with two conductor ports. That range covers everything from a small branch-circuit feeder up to a large service entrance conductor, so one connector can handle mixed sizes on the same tap.
2) Can I use the Blackburn ABP 2500 A on both aluminum and copper conductors?
Yes. The ABP 2500 A is an aluminum-bodied transformer connector rated for aluminum or copper conductors, which is what the AL/CU dual rating on this style of set-screw connector means. It meets or exceeds ANSI C119.4, the standard for separable insulated connector systems and mechanical connectors on distribution conductors.
3) What is the temperature rating on this Blackburn set-screw connector, and can I use it with 90 C insulated conductors?
Rated up to 90 C, so it pairs with THHN, XHHW-2 and other 90 C rated building wire without derating the connector. It is a mechanical set-screw connection, not compression, so no crimp tool or die set is needed.
4) Does the ABP 2500 A connector come insulated, or do I need to cover it after installation?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the body. You will need to insulate it in the field, typically with a tape build-up, a heat-shrink boot, or a pre-formed insulating cover sized to the connector, unless the connector sits inside an enclosure or transformer compartment where guarding is already provided.
5) How does this eyebolt connector mount to a transformer pad or bushing?
The ABP 2500 A is an eyebolt style transformer connector with a 3/4 inch pin that lands in the transformer bushing or spade, with the conductors secured by set screws on the connector body. Because it is the 3/4 inch pin version, confirm your transformer or switchgear terminal is drilled or bored for a 3/4 inch pin before ordering.
6) Is this connector made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a public-works or federally funded project needs on record for domestic material compliance. Pair that with the ANSI C119.4 conformance for the submittal package.
7) I need to tap three conductors off one transformer terminal. Will the ABP 2500 A work?
No. This one is a two-conductor connector, so it will land only two runs. For three or more conductors off a single pin you need a multi-tap connector with a matching port count in the same eyebolt family, again with a 3/4 inch pin to fit your bushing.
8) Is the Blackburn ABP 2500 A sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each, one connector per unit, under manufacturer part number ABP 2500 A. If you are terminating a three-phase service you will need one per phase plus any required neutral.
