Blackburn ABP 540 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Blackburn ABP 540 eyebolt connector accept?
The ABP 540 takes conductors from #6 AWG up to 250 kcmil on its tap ports, with five outlets available. Anything smaller than #6 or larger than 250 kcmil needs a different connector body.
2) How many conductors can I land on a Blackburn ABP 540 transformer eyebolt connector?
Five. It is a five-outlet multi-tap set-screw body, so you can terminate up to five separate taps off the one eyebolt stud connection. The connection is purely mechanical (set screws), no crimping tool required.
3) What stud size does the ABP 540 eyebolt connector mount to?
It is built for a 1/2 inch by 4 inch stud, and the connector body itself measures 4-5/16 inches long. Check the transformer or service bushing stud diameter and length before ordering, because the eyebolt is sized to that stud, not adjustable.
4) Is the Blackburn ABP 540 connector insulated?
No. It ships bare, with no insulation on the body, so the installer has to insulate the completed connection in the field with tape, a boot, or a cover where the application requires it.
5) What standard does the Blackburn ABP 540 multi-tap connector meet?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors. That is the spec most utility and commercial service drawings call out for mechanical tap connectors.
6) What conductor temperature rating can the ABP 540 be used at?
Rated up to 90 degrees C, so it works with 90 C rated conductor insulation such as THHN or XHHW-2 at the connector itself, subject to whatever ampacity temperature column your installation is designed to.
7) Do I need a crimper or hydraulic tool to install the ABP 540?
No press tooling needed. This is a mechanical set-screw connector, so it installs with a hex driver or socket on the set screws and a wrench on the eyebolt stud nut. That makes it practical for retrofit taps on live-adjacent gear where a crimp tool will not fit.
8) Does the Blackburn ABP 540 come as a single piece or in a pack?
Sold individually, one connector per unit, under manufacturer part number ABP 540. It is made in the United States.
