Color-Keyed 54118 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Color Keyed lug terminate a 500 kcmil copper conductor?
That is exactly what it is sized for. The Color Keyed one-hole compression lug takes a 500 kcmil cable, and the lug body itself is copper, so you are making a copper-to-copper termination with no dissimilar metal concern. One conductor per lug, one bolt hole for the pad connection.
2) Is this cable lug rated for 35kV medium voltage work?
Yes, the voltage rating on this Color Keyed standard barrel lug is 35 kV, and the product imaging covers it from 600V up through 35kV. That makes it usable for both low voltage panel terminations and medium voltage splices and terminations in substations and switchgear.
3) Does the brown color on this lug mean anything, or is it just cosmetic?
Brown is the die index color in the Color Keyed system. It tells the installer which compression die and die number to use for this conductor size, so the crimp is made with the right tooling rather than guessed at. It is not a phase marking. Match the brown die in your compression tool head to the brown band on the lug.
4) Can I use this copper lug on an aluminum 500 kcmil conductor?
No. This is a copper-bodied lug, which means it is intended for copper conductors. Terminating aluminum cable calls for an aluminum or dual-rated AL9CU compression lug instead, otherwise you get a dissimilar metal connection and a listing violation. Confirm your conductor metal before you pick the lug.
5) Do I need a two-hole lug instead of this one-hole version?
One-hole lugs land on a single 1/2 inch stud and can rotate under fault torque, which is why many switchgear and NEMA bus specs call for two-hole, two-bolt pads on large conductors. If the equipment pad has two holes on a set spacing, you need a two-hole lug on that spacing, not this one. For single-stud pads, bus bar taps, and breaker lugs with one bolt, this is the correct configuration.
6) Is this lug insulated, or do I need to cover the barrel after crimping?
It is bare. Insulation material on this lug is listed as none, so the copper barrel and tongue are exposed once installed. On medium voltage work you will be building up the termination with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink boot per the cable system requirements, and on 600V panel work the barrel typically gets covered with heat shrink.
7) Is this cable lug UL listed for inspection sign-off?
It carries UL file E9809, which is the listing an inspector will want to see referenced for a compression connector on a feeder or service termination. Note that a UL listing only holds if the crimp is made with the matching die and tool, which is what the brown color key identifies.
8) What is the difference between a standard barrel and a long barrel lug for 500 kcmil?
This one is the standard barrel version, meaning a single crimp length sized for one set of die compressions. Long barrel lugs give you a longer crimp area for additional compressions, which some utility and high pull-out specs call for. If your spec sheet calls out long barrel or a specific number of crimps, the standard barrel will not satisfy it.
