Blackburn AL 954 NMS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn AL 954 NMS lug take?
It is sized for 954 kcmil ACSR with 54/7 stranding. That is a specific conductor construction, so don't substitute it for 954 kcmil all-aluminum or copper cable of the same nominal size, the barrel is bored for the 54/7 ACSR outside diameter.
2) Can I use this aluminum lug on a copper bus or copper conductor?
The barrel is for aluminum 954 kcmil ACSR conductor only. The tin plating on the body does let it land on a copper or aluminum bus pad, which is the point of the tin, it blocks the galvanic reaction at the bolted joint between an aluminum lug and copper hardware. So: aluminum cable into the barrel, either metal at the pad.
3) Is this a crimp lug or a set screw (mechanical) lug?
Compression. It has to be crimped with a hydraulic tool and the correct die for a 954 kcmil aluminum barrel, there is no set screw. If your crew doesn't have hydraulic crimping capability on site, you want a mechanical set screw terminal instead.
4) Will a two-hole lug this size bolt to my standard NEMA pad?
The pad end is a two-hole tongue and the whole lug measures 9-3/8 inches long by 1-3/4 inches wide. Two-hole tongues resist rotation under fault current, which is why utility and switchgear pads at this ampacity are drilled for them. Check the hole spacing on your pad against the tongue before you order, the width tells you it will sit on a 1-3/4 inch or wider pad.
5) Does this lug meet the standard my utility spec calls out for connectors?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors. That is the reference most utility and substation connector specs cite for compression connectors of this class.
6) Does the Blackburn AL 954 NMS come insulated or with a sleeve?
Bare metal, no insulation on it. Any covering over the barrel and the crimped joint is something you add, typically heat shrink or tape per your own spec.
7) Is this lug sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Sold each, so the quantity you order is the number of lugs you get. Remember you need one per conductor end, so a three-phase termination on both ends is six.
8) Is the Blackburn AL 954 NMS lug made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on federally funded and Buy American jobs where connectors have to be domestically sourced, and the MPN to put on the submittal is AL 954 NMS.
