Blackburn AL 700 N 608 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn AL 700 N 608 lug take?
The AL 700 N 608 is sized for 700 to 795 kcmil conductor. If your cable is smaller than 700 kcmil, this barrel will not compress correctly and you need the next size down in the series.
2) Is the AL 700 N 608 a compression lug or a mechanical set screw lug?
It's a compression lug, so it's installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not tightened with a set screw. Once crimped it's a permanent termination. If you want a connection you can loosen and reuse, you want a mechanical lug instead.
3) Will this lug bolt to a two-hole NEMA pad on a switchgear bus?
Yes. The AL 700 N 608 is a two-hole lug with NEMA hole spacing on a straight tongue, so it lands on standard NEMA drilled pads found on breakers, switchboards and bus bar. The two-hole pattern also keeps the cable from rotating on the pad under fault torque.
4) Can I use this aluminum lug on a copper conductor?
It's an aluminum-body lug. Blackburn AL-series compression lugs of this type are rated for aluminum or copper conductor when used with the correct die, and the barrel comes factory filled with oxide inhibitor for aluminum terminations. Confirm the dual-rating marking stamped on the barrel of the lug you receive before terminating copper.
5) Does the AL 700 N 608 meet ANSI C119.4 for underground and secondary connectors?
Yes, it's built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductors. That's the reference spec most utility and institutional cable-termination submittals call out.
6) How much room do I need in the cabinet for this lug?
Plan for a lug measuring 7-3/8 inches long by 1-3/4 inches wide. At 700 to 795 kcmil that's a long barrel, so check gutter space and bending radius behind the pad before you commit, especially in shallow panel enclosures.
7) Is this lug insulated, and do I need to cover it after crimping?
No insulation on it, the barrel and tongue are bare metal. On energized gear you'll need heat shrink, tape or a separate insulating boot over the barrel and the pad connection to meet clearance requirements.
8) Does the AL 700 N 608 come in a pack or is it sold individually?
Sold each, so order one per conductor termination. For a three-phase plus neutral feeder run terminated at both ends that's eight pieces, and it's worth adding spares since a mis-crimped compression lug cannot be salvaged.
9) Is this Blackburn lug made in the USA for Buy American projects?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what federal, municipal and Build America Buy America jobs typically ask for on submittal.
