Blackburn GLE 250 N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn GLE 250 N lug take?
The GLE 250 N is sized for 250 kcmil conductor. It is a compression lug, so the conductor is crimped in the barrel rather than clamped by a set screw, and it needs to be crimped with the correct die for a 250 kcmil aluminum lug. Do not use it on a smaller conductor to save a trip; the crimp will not hold to spec.
2) Can I use the Blackburn GLE 250 N aluminum lug on copper conductor?
It is an aluminum two-hole lug built for 250 kcmil. Blackburn aluminum compression lugs of this type are commonly dual-rated AL/CU, but that rating is stamped on the lug body and on the packaging, so read the marking on the part in hand before terminating copper with it.
3) What crimp die do I need for the Blackburn GLE 250 N?
It is catalogued as a two hole compression lug using a CSA die, so the crimp tool has to be set up with the die index Blackburn stamps on the barrel for this lug. Match the index on the part rather than guessing from conductor size alone, since color-code and CSA die systems are not interchangeable.
4) What does the two-hole pad on this 250 kcmil lug mean for my bus or ground bar?
Two mounting holes instead of one means the lug cannot rotate on the pad under fault current or vibration, which is why two-hole terminations are standard on switchgear bus, transformer pads, and grounding bars. You need two tapped holes or through-holes on the landing pad at matching spacing, plus your own bolts, nuts and washers. Hardware is not supplied with the lug.
5) How long is the GLE 250 N lug, and will it clear inside my enclosure?
Overall length is 6 inches. On a 250 kcmil termination that is a long barrel plus pad, so check bending room and gutter space in a tight panel or a pull box before you commit, especially when several are landed side by side.
6) Is this lug insulated, and does it come with a plated finish?
Neither. The GLE 250 N ships bare with no insulation on the barrel, so if the application needs the termination covered you will be adding heat shrink or a boot yourself. Bare aluminum also means an oxide inhibitor compound is the normal practice on aluminum conductor terminations.
7) Is the GLE 250 N sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. Order one per conductor termination, and remember the mounting bolts and any inhibitor compound are separate items.
8) Where is the Blackburn GLE 250 N made? I have a domestic-content requirement.
Country of origin is the United States, which is the line most federal, state and utility procurement specs want confirmed on distribution connectors. The part number to reference on the submittal is GLE 250 N.
