Blackburn PTL 1000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn PTL 1000 pin terminal take?
The PTL 1000 compression pin terminal accepts 954 through 1000 kcmil conductor. If your feeder is smaller than 954 kcmil, this is the wrong body size, you need the pin terminal built for that range instead of shimming a loose conductor into this barrel.
2) Can I land aluminum conductor in the Blackburn PTL 1000, or is it copper only?
It is a dual rated body, built of aluminum and copper with a tin-plated pin, so it takes either aluminum or copper conductor in the 954 to 1000 kcmil range. The tin plating on the pin is what lets it sit in a copper breaker or switchgear lug without a dissimilar metal problem.
3) Why would I use a pin terminal instead of just landing the cable in the lug?
A pin terminal converts a large stranded conductor into a solid pin so it can land in equipment whose lug or terminal will not accept 954 to 1000 kcmil stranded cable, typically breaker, panelboard, or switchgear terminals sized for a smaller or solid connection. The PTL 1000 handles that transition at the top end of the conductor range.
4) Is the Blackburn PTL 1000 a crimp connector or a set screw type?
Compression. It is die-crimped onto the conductor with a hydraulic compression tool and the correct die, not tightened with a set screw. Plan on a tool and die for 954 to 1000 kcmil aluminum barrels, neither is included with the terminal.
5) What part number should I put on the order for a 1000 kcmil aluminum pin terminal?
Blackburn PTL 1000 is the manufacturer part number, covering 954 to 1000 kcmil conductor in a compression aluminum body with a tin-plated pin.
6) Does the Blackburn PTL 1000 come in a bag or as a single piece?
It sells as an each, one terminal per unit. For a three-phase plus neutral termination, order four.
7) Is the Blackburn PTL 1000 made in the USA for a government or public works spec?
Country of origin on the PTL 1000 compression pin terminal is the United States, which is what a public agency or federal job buyer usually needs confirmed before it goes on a submittal.
