Color-Keyed 54876BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Color Keyed 54876BE lug take 500 kcmil copper cable?
Yes. The Color Keyed (Blackburn) 54876BE compression lug is sized for 500 kcmil conductor and is made of copper, so it is a copper-to-copper termination. It is a compression lug, not a mechanical set screw type, so the conductor is crimped in the barrel with the matching die.
2) What bolt size do these two-hole copper lugs need at the pad?
The pads are drilled for 1/2 inch studs, two holes. Plan on 1/2 inch hardware at the bus or equipment pad. Bolts, nuts and Belleville washers are not part of the lug and are ordered separately.
3) Can I use a 500 kcmil Color Keyed lug on medium voltage cable?
It carries a 35 kV rating, so it is suited to medium voltage terminations such as substation and distribution work. The lug itself has no insulation on it, so the insulating and shielding system (termination kit, tape or tubing) has to be supplied and built up in the field.
4) Can I put this copper lug on aluminum cable?
No. This is a copper compression lug and the barrel is sized for 500 kcmil copper conductor. Aluminum cable needs an aluminum or dual-rated (AL9CU) compression lug with the correct barrel and inhibitor. Using a copper-only lug on aluminum risks a bad crimp and galvanic corrosion at the joint.
5) What does the brown color on a Color Keyed compression lug mean?
Brown is the die color code. On the Color Keyed system the color on the lug tells the installer which crimp die to set in the tool, and it also gives a fast visual check at the termination that the right lug went on the right conductor. On this part brown corresponds to the 500 kcmil copper barrel.
6) Is a long-barrel lug different from a standard barrel lug, and when should I use it?
Long barrel means more crimp length, normally taken with two crimps instead of one, which spreads the mechanical pull and the current transfer over more of the conductor. It is the version to use on large conductors like 500 kcmil where pull-out and heating at the crimp matter. A standard single-crimp barrel is the lighter-duty choice and will not give the same grip on a cable this size.
7) Is this lug UL listed for commercial and utility work?
It is listed under UL file E9809, which is what most utility and institutional specs want to see called out on a medium voltage termination. Country of origin is Mexico.
8) Which part number do I order for the 1/2 inch two-hole 500 kcmil copper lug?
Order Color Keyed / Blackburn 54876BE. That is the 500 kcmil copper long-barrel two-hole lug with 1/2 inch stud holes in brown.
