Blackburn GLE 300-48 TN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn GLE 300-48 TN lug take?
The GLE 300-48 TN is sized for 300 kcmil stranded conductor. It is a one-hole compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor with a die tool rather than tightened with a set screw. One 300 kcmil conductor per lug.
2) Can I use a tin-plated aluminum lug on copper conductor?
Yes. The GLE 300-48 TN is an aluminum body with a tin plated finish, which is what makes it dual rated for aluminum or copper conductor. The tin plating is also what lets it land on copper or aluminum pads without creating a bare aluminum-to-copper couple. Use the correct 300 kcmil die and tooling for the crimp.
3) Does this Blackburn lug meet the connector standard my inspector asks for?
The GLE 300-48 TN is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering electric connectors for use between aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductors. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer normally looks for on a compression lug of this type.
4) Is this compression lug insulated, or do I need to cover it after crimping?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the barrel or tongue. If the termination is in an enclosure or panel where you need the connection covered, plan on heat shrink or an insulating boot as a separate item.
5) How long is the GLE 300-48 TN lug overall?
Overall length is 1.63 inches. Worth checking against your gutter or panel depth before you crimp, because a one-hole lug on 300 kcmil still needs bending room for the conductor behind the pad.
6) Should I use a compression lug or a mechanical set screw lug for a 300 kcmil feeder?
The GLE 300-48 TN is a compression type, crimped with a die tool. Compression gives a permanent, tamper-resistant termination with no torque to re-check later, which is why it is common on feeders and service conductors. A mechanical set screw lug is the choice when you have no crimp tool on site or expect to re-terminate the conductor. If you go compression, you need the matching CSA die for the 300 kcmil barrel.
7) Do compression lugs sell in packs, or can I buy a single one?
The GLE 300-48 TN is sold each, so you can buy exactly the count the job needs rather than a bagged quantity. Order one per conductor termination.
8) Is the Blackburn GLE 300-48 TN made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on this lug is the United States, which is what a government, institutional, or federally funded project will want to see documented for a domestic content requirement.
