Blackburn AL 1500 N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn AL 1500 N lug take?
The AL 1500 N is sized for 1500 kcmil conductor. It's a one-size compression lug, not a range-taking mechanical connector, so the conductor has to be 1500 kcmil for the crimp to be correct.
2) Is the AL 1500 N a bolt-on mechanical lug or does it need to be crimped?
It has to be crimped. The AL 1500 N is a compression lug, so it goes on with a hydraulic crimp tool and the correct die, not with a setscrew or Allen wrench. If you want a connector you can install with hand tools in the field, you need a mechanical lug instead.
3) Will the Blackburn AL 1500 N bolt to a standard NEMA pad?
Yes. It's a two-hole NEMA straight tongue lug, so the hole pattern matches standard NEMA drilling on breaker, transformer and switchgear pads. Two-hole is what you want where the connection has to resist rotation under fault or vibration.
4) Can I use the AL 1500 N aluminum lug on a copper conductor?
It's an aluminum-bodied lug. Blackburn aluminum compression lugs of this type are commonly dual rated AL9CU, but confirm the rating stamped on the barrel before terminating copper. What is on record here is that the connector meets ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for aluminum and copper conductors.
5) Does the AL 1500 N meet the connector standard inspectors ask for?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard for electric connectors used on aluminum and copper conductors, which is the reference typically cited on utility and commercial submittals for compression terminations.
6) Does the Blackburn AL 1500 N come with insulation or a cover?
No insulation. The lug ships bare, so any phase taping, heat shrink or insulating boot is a separate item you add after crimping.
7) Is the AL 1500 N sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. For a three-phase plus neutral termination you would order four, and remember each end of a run needs its own lug.
8) Is the Blackburn AL 1500 N made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if your project carries Buy American or domestic-content requirements on electrical materials.
