Blackburn AL 1000 N 90 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn AL 1000 N 90 compression lug take?
The Blackburn AL 1000 N 90 is sized for 1000 kcmil conductor. It is a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the cable with a die-matched tool rather than torqued down like a mechanical set-screw lug. One lug per conductor termination, sold each.
2) Can I use an aluminum compression lug like the AL 1000 N 90 on copper cable?
No. The AL 1000 N 90 is an aluminum-bodied compression lug made for 1000 kcmil aluminum conductor. For a copper 1000 kcmil run, order a copper compression lug in that size instead. Mixing the two means the crimp die and the conductor metal no longer match what the lug was built for.
3) Does the AL 1000 N 90 lug meet ANSI C119.4?
Yes, the Blackburn AL 1000 N 90 is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductors. If your spec sheet or submittal calls out C119.4 on connectors, this one answers it. It is manufactured in the United States.
4) Why choose a 90 degree lug instead of a straight one for a 1000 kcmil termination?
A 90 degree lug turns the cable away from the pad so a large, stiff 1000 kcmil conductor can drop into a panel or switchgear without a long sweeping bend in front of the bus. Where you have depth to run the cable straight at the pad, a straight (flat) compression lug is simpler. Where the cable has to come up or down at the landing, the 90 degree version buys you the turn.
5) Is the AL 1000 N 90 lug insulated, and do I need to tape or boot the termination?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the barrel. Any covering at the termination, heat shrink, tape, or a lug boot, is a separate item you specify and order yourself.
6) Is this a two-hole lug, and do the bolts come with it?
Two-hole pad, which is what most switchgear and bus landings require so the conductor cannot rotate under fault. The pad measures 3.625 by 2.600 inches. Mounting bolts, washers, and Belleville hardware are not part of the lug, so add them to the order along with the correct crimp die for the 1000 kcmil barrel.
