Blackburn AC 600 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn AC 600 splice rated for aluminum conductor, and can it be used on copper?
The AC 600 is an aluminum-bodied compression splice sized for 600 kcmil conductor. It is a two-conductor barrel, so one cable goes in each end. What the data states is the aluminum body and the 600 kcmil size, so use it where an aluminum splice is what the job calls for; for a copper-only run, specify a copper-bodied compression splice in the same conductor size instead.
2) Does the AC 600 splice come insulated, or do I have to tape or sleeve it after crimping?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the barrel. The surface is a bare aluminum finish, so you are responsible for re-insulating the joint after compression with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink sleeve per the application.
3) How long is the Blackburn AC 600 splice barrel, and will it fit inside a pull box or gutter?
The barrel measures 7-27/32 inches long. Add your bending radius and conductor insulation on each side when you lay out a pull box, gutter, or handhole, since a splice this length plus 600 kcmil cable needs real room to sit straight through the die.
4) What standard does the Blackburn AC 600 compression splice meet?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors in underground and other electrical applications. That is the reference an inspector or spec writer on a service entrance job will be looking for.
5) Is this a set screw or a crimp connector?
Compression only. The AC 600 is crimped with a hydraulic tool and the correct die for the barrel; there are no set screws. If you want a tool-light joint you would be looking at a mechanical set screw splice instead, but that is a different connector family.
6) Can I use the AC 600 to splice a service entrance conductor?
Yes. It is catalogued as a service entrance compression splice for wire or cable, in 600 kcmil aluminum. It joins two conductors end to end, so it suits extending or repairing a service lateral where the conductor size matches.
7) How is the Blackburn AC 600 sold, each or in a box?
Sold each, one splice per unit, under manufacturer part number AC 600. Count one per conductor being joined, so a three-phase splice plus neutral takes four.
8) Where is the Blackburn AC 600 splice made?
Made in the United States, which matters if you are procuring against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a public project.
