Burndy YA8CL3BOX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Burndy YA Series HYLUG compression lug cover?
The YA Series copper compression lugs are ordered by conductor size, and the range runs from 8 AWG (YA8CL3BOX, YA8CTC38) and 4 AWG (YA4C-2TC38) up through 3/0 AWG (YA27LBOX), 300 kcmil (YA30L24) and 600 kcmil (YA36). Pick the catalog number that matches the conductor you are terminating, since a compression lug barrel is sized to one conductor size and will not crimp reliably on anything else.
2) Can I use a Burndy YA lug on aluminum conductor?
No. The YA Series HYLUG is a copper-bodied lug built for copper conductor, listed for code conductor. For aluminum or for a dual-rated AL9CU application you need a lug specified for aluminum, not this one. The tin plating on the copper body is there to cut oxidation and contact resistance at the pad, not to make it aluminum-rated.
3) Is the Burndy YA lug UL Listed and CSA approved for an inspected commercial job?
Yes, the YA Series copper compression lug is UL Listed and CSA Approved. Note it is not UL Recognized, not cULus marked and not ETL. RoHS status is CM. For an AHJ signoff on panel and switchgear terminations, the UL Listing plus CSA is the mark you cite.
4) Will a Burndy YA lug bolt to my existing ground bar or bus?
The YA Series lugs use a two-hole straight standard tongue with a 0.13 inch pad thickness, and the thread size listed is 1/2. A two-hole pad resists rotation on a bus bar or ground bar, which is what most switchgear and grounding specs call for. Match your bus hole spacing and bolt diameter to the specific catalog number you order, since pad hole size and spacing change with conductor size across the range.
5) Do I need a crimp tool for these, or can they be set with a set screw?
Compression only. The YA Series is a crimp lug, not a mechanical set-screw lug, so it needs a hydraulic or battery compression tool with the correct die for the conductor size. If you want a termination you can install with a hex key and re-torque later, a mechanical lug is the better choice for that opening.
6) What voltage can a Burndy HYLUG YA compression lug be used at?
Rated 600V minimum up to 35kV maximum, so the same lug family covers 600V panelboard and switchgear work as well as medium voltage terminations in substation and underground gear up to 35kV.
7) Is this the same as a Burndy HYLUG, or a different product line?
Same thing. YA is Burndy's series designation and HYLUG is the trade name the copper compression lug line is sold under, so a spec calling for a HYLUG copper compression lug is satisfied by a YA catalog number. Non-insulated, no inspection window on the two-hole pad.
8) What temperature is the Burndy YA copper lug rated for?
194 degrees F at the termination. That covers 90 degree C conductor insulation systems in a normal panel or switchgear enclosure; if your equipment terminations are ambient-derated above that, this is not the part.
9) What does the chamfered, skived barrel on the Burndy HYLUG do?
The barrel is chamfered so stranded conductor feeds in without snagging or birdcaging, and the skiving thins the barrel wall for a cleaner crimp. On a long barrel lug that matters most on larger conductors like 300 and 600 kcmil, where getting every strand seated before you crimp is the difference between a good termination and a hot spot.
10) Can I buy Burndy YA lugs one at a time or do they come in a box quantity?
Minimum pack quantity is 1, so single pieces are orderable. Some catalog numbers in the range are themselves box-packed items (YA27LBOX and YA8CL3BOX carry the BOX designation), so check the specific number you are ordering against how many pieces you actually need for the job.
