Blackburn HLC2108 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn HLC2108 hot-line clamp accept?
The HLC2108 takes a 2/0 stranded AWG main conductor and an 8 AWG solid tap. If your run conductor is larger than 2/0 stranded or your tap is stranded rather than solid #8, this is not the right clamp for that connection.
2) What voltage is the Blackburn HLC2108 hot-line clamp rated for?
Rated to 35 kV, so it covers typical distribution work up through 35 kV class. Do not apply it above that rating.
3) Is the HLC2108 clamp bronze or aluminum, and what conductors can it touch?
It is a bronze body clamp. Bronze is used with copper conductors; for aluminum run or tap conductors you want an aluminum bodied hot-line clamp instead, to avoid a dissimilar metal connection.
4) What does the protected thread feature on this Blackburn hot-line clamp do for me?
The HLC2108 is a protected thread hot-line clamp, meaning the eye screw threads are shielded from weather and contamination so the clamp can still be opened and adjusted with a hot stick after time in service. That matters on live line taps where the clamp may sit outdoors for years before anyone comes back to it.
5) Is the HLC2108 a ground clamp or a live line tap connector?
Both uses fall in its scope. Blackburn groups it with grounding and bonding ground clamps, and the type is listed as an electrical tap, so it is used for hot-line tap connections such as temporary grounds, jumpers, and service taps on overhead conductors rather than as a pipe or rebar ground clamp.
6) Is the Blackburn HLC2108 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each, so ordering quantity 10 gets you ten clamps. Part number is HLC2108.
7) I need a submittal on the Blackburn HLC2108 - what is the country of origin?
The HLC2108 bronze hot-line clamp is manufactured in India. Useful if your project has a domestic sourcing or Buy America requirement to check against.
