Burndy YS30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor size does the Burndy YS30 splice take?
The YS30 Hylink splice is sized for 300 kcmil stranded copper, specifically the 91-strand (Navy) class. It is a copper-only connector, so do not use it on aluminum or on compact/compressed conductors outside the 300 kcmil 91-strand class it is dimensioned for.
2) What die index and color code do I set my crimper to for a YS30?
White color code, die index 17 or 298. Match either index in your compression tool's die set and you have the right crimp for this splice.
3) How much insulation do I strip off each conductor before crimping this splice?
Strip 2-1/16 inches per end. That matches the barrel depth on each side: the splice is 4.34 inches (110 mm) overall with a 1.95 inch B length, so each conductor bottoms out near the center of the barrel. The internal chamfer helps the strands enter without birdcaging.
4) Is this splice rated for medium voltage, or only 600V feeders?
Both. The YS30 carries a 600V minimum rating and is rated for use up to 35 kV (35,000 volts), so it works on 480V and 600V industrial feeders as well as medium-voltage distribution splices when installed with the appropriate insulation or splice kit over it.
5) Is the Burndy YS30 UL Listed, and what standard does it meet?
UL Listed and CSA Approved, built to UL468A-468B. It is a Listed connector, not UL Recognized only, and it does not carry an ETL or cULus mark. The temperature rating is 90 degrees C, which suits it to 90 C rated conductor insulation systems.
6) Does the YS30 come with insulation or tape, or do I need a separate splice kit?
It is a bare compression connector only, sold as a single piece with no insulating cover, tape or resin. On medium-voltage cable you need to rebuild the insulation and shield over it yourself. If you would rather buy the whole splice as a kit, the 3M Scotchcast Inline Resin Power Cable Splice Kit 82-A is a resin inline kit for 1 to 5 kV, but that is a different approach and covers a lower voltage class than the YS30's 35 kV rating.
7) Is the 3M Scotchcast 82-A resin splice kit an alternative to the Burndy YS30 for splicing 300 kcmil copper?
They do different parts of the job. The Burndy YS30 is a copper compression splice body, tin-plated, that joins 300 kcmil copper conductors by crimping the conductor into a long chamfered barrel. The 3M Scotchcast 82-A is an inline resin power cable splice kit, rated 1-5 kV, which encapsulates a completed inline splice in resin to rebuild the cable insulation and jacket. On a shielded or jacketed cable run, a metallic connector makes the conductor joint and a resin or tape kit restores the insulation over it, so the two are often used in sequence rather than in place of each other.
8) Why choose a long barrel splice over a standard barrel one?
The long barrel on the YS30 gives room for two crimps per side instead of one, which is what you want on heavy-duty industrial and utility connections and on anything running up to 35 kV. A short barrel splice is fine on lighter 600V branch work; on a medium-voltage cable splice the extra contact length and crimp count is the reason to specify the long barrel version.
9) Will a tin-plated copper splice hold up in a damp vault or direct-buried splice?
The body is copper with an electroplated tin finish specifically for corrosion resistance, which is the standard choice for underground vaults, manholes and wet locations. Tin plating also lets you make up to an aluminum lug or bus without a bare copper-to-aluminum interface, though the barrel itself still only accepts copper conductors.
10) Do I need a crimp tool for the Burndy YS30, or is there a no-crimp option like the 3M 82-A kit?
The Burndy YS30 is a compression connector, so it requires a crimp tool with the matching die - the splice carries a WHITE color code and a 17 or 298 die index for tool matching. If the work calls for a poured, tool-light approach to the insulation side of the splice, the 3M Scotchcast 82-A is a resin inline splice kit in the 1-5 kV class, though it addresses encapsulation rather than making the conductor joint the YS30 makes.
11) How do I order the right Burndy Hylink splice and confirm I got it?
Order by part number YS30, Burndy's Hylink series compression splice. On the part itself look for the White color code stripe and the 300 kcmil marking; the UPC on the package is 781810508053. It ships as single pieces, so order one per splice point.
