Blackburn ABP 3500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Blackburn ABP 3500 eyebolt connector accept?
The ABP 3500 takes conductors from #2 through 500 kcmil, so it covers everything from a small feeder tap up to a 500 kcmil service conductor. It has three outlet ports, meaning you can land three tapped conductors off the eyebolt stud connection.
2) Will the ABP 3500 fit a 3/4 inch transformer stud?
Yes. The ABP 3500 is built for a 3/4 by 4-1/2 inch stud, which is why it is used on transformer and switchgear terminal studs of that size. The body itself runs 4-5/8 inches long, so allow that clearance in the enclosure before you commit.
3) What temperature rating does this eyebolt connector carry, and can I use it with 90 C conductors?
Rated up to 90 degrees C, so it matches THHN/THWN-2 and XHHW-2 conductors run at their 90 C rating. It also meets ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors.
4) Can I run both aluminum and copper conductors into this connector?
The ABP 3500 is listed to ANSI C119.4, the standard governing connectors used between aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductors, so it is suited to mixed-metal terminations. Follow the conductor preparation and inhibitor practice called for on aluminum before landing it.
5) Does the Blackburn ABP 3500 come insulated, or do I need to cover it myself?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the connector. For anything that needs to be covered after termination you supply your own insulating boot, cover, or tape per the installation requirements.
6) Is the ABP 3500 a crimp connector or a set-screw connector?
Set-screw, mechanical type. You land the conductors and torque the set screws with a hex wrench, no hydraulic crimper or die set needed, which is why these get specified for field terminations and retrofit work where a crimp tool is not practical.
7) Is the Blackburn ABP 3500 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the ABP 3500 is the United States. That is the detail to have in hand for federal, municipal, and institutional work carrying domestic sourcing requirements on electrical material.
8) Is the Blackburn ABP 3500 sold individually or in a box?
It is sold each, one connector per unit. If you are terminating a three-phase transformer secondary you would order one per phase leg plus whatever you need for the neutral.
