Blackburn ASC 1500 TN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn ASC 1500 TN splice take?
The ASC 1500 TN is sized for 1500 kcmil aluminum conductor. It is a straight two-conductor splice, so it joins one 1500 kcmil run to another 1500 kcmil run end to end. It is not a reducing connector, so both ends have to be the same size.
2) Can I use this aluminum compression splice on copper conductor?
Yes. The ASC 1500 TN is an aluminum-bodied compression splice with a tin-plated finish, which is what makes it suitable for use on either aluminum or copper cable. The tin plating separates the aluminum barrel from copper strands and limits galvanic corrosion at the joint.
3) Does the ASC 1500 TN come insulated, or do I have to insulate the splice myself?
It ships bare. Insulation material is listed as none, so the barrel is uninsulated metal and you finish the joint yourself with heat shrink, cold shrink, or tape build-up rated for the circuit voltage. Budget for that material separately.
4) Does this Blackburn splice meet the connector standard our spec calls out?
The ASC 1500 TN is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard for connectors used between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors. If the drawing calls for a C119.4 compression connector on a 1500 kcmil feeder, this meets that call-out. It is also made in the United States, which helps on jobs with domestic-content requirements.
5) How long is the ASC 1500 TN splice barrel, and how much room do I need in the pull box?
Overall product size is 6.5 inches. Add the insulating cover and the bend radius on 1500 kcmil cable when you lay out a pull box or manhole, because the finished joint is longer than the barrel itself.
6) Compression splice or a bolted/mechanical connector for a 1500 kcmil feeder?
A compression splice like the ASC 1500 TN is crimped permanently with a hydraulic tool and die, giving a low-profile joint with no bolts to re-torque, which is why it is the usual choice for underground and inaccessible splices. A mechanical bolted connector is the better pick when you need to open the joint later or cannot get a crimp tool into the box. Once this one is crimped, it is not coming apart.
7) Is the ASC 1500 TN sold individually or in a box of connectors?
It sells each, one splice per unit. Order one per joint, and remember a three-phase feeder splice takes three, plus one more for the neutral if that is being spliced too.
8) What is the Blackburn part number for a 1500 kcmil tin-plated aluminum compression splice?
ASC 1500 TN. That is the manufacturer part number for the tin-plated aluminum straight compression splice at 1500 kcmil, in the Blackburn ASC line.
