Blackburn GLE 500 N-30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn GLE 500 N-30 lug take?
The GLE 500 N-30 is sized for 500 kcmil conductor. It is a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the cable rather than torqued down on a setscrew, and it will not accept a smaller conductor correctly without a reducing step.
2) Is the Blackburn GLE 500 N-30 a one hole or two hole lug?
Two hole. The GLE 500 N-30 is a two hole compression lug, which is what most utility and switchgear pads specify because the second bolt keeps the pad from rotating under fault current. If your pad is drilled for a single bolt, you want a one hole lug instead.
3) What die do I need to crimp this lug, and is it sold in packs?
The GLE 500 N-30 is a CSA die compression lug, so it is crimped with the CSA die series in your hydraulic or battery crimper, with the die index marked on the barrel telling you which die and how many crimps. It is sold individually, each, not in a bagged quantity, so order one per termination and add spares for miscrimps.
4) Is this an aluminum lug, and can I land copper cable in it?
The GLE 500 N-30 is a bare aluminum bodied two hole compression lug for 500 kcmil. Aluminum bodied compression connectors of this type are commonly dual rated for copper and aluminum, but the rating is stamped on the barrel, so read the barrel marking on the lug in front of you before you land copper in it.
5) What standard does this Blackburn compression lug meet?
ANSI C119.4 is the standard listed for the GLE 500 N-30. That is the connector standard covering the electrical and mechanical performance of connectors used on aluminum and copper conductors, which is typically what a utility or industrial spec calls out on a terminal pad.
6) Does the GLE 500 N-30 lug come insulated or do I need to cover it?
No insulation. The GLE 500 N-30 ships bare, so any covering at the termination is on you, typically heat shrink or a molded boot over the barrel and pad once the crimp and bolt-up are done.
7) How long is the Blackburn GLE 500 N-30 lug, and will it clear inside my gear?
Overall length is 6.38 inches. On a 500 kcmil two hole lug that matters in tight termination compartments and cable gutters, so measure from your pad face to the nearest barrier or door before you crimp.
8) Is the Blackburn GLE 500 N-30 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a government or institutional buyer working to a domestic sourcing clause needs on the submittal for the GLE 500 N-30.
