Blackburn PKL58-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the PKL58-1 on medium voltage cable?
Yes, it carries a 35 kV voltage rating, so it's suitable for MV terminations up to that class. Note the sleeve itself is uninsulated, so all insulating and shielding is handled by your termination kit or tape build-up, not by this part.
2) What size conductor does the Blackburn PKL58-1 compression pin terminal accept?
It's sized for 3/0 cable. The barrel is 3-1/2 inches long, which needs a compression tool with enough die range and reach to put multiple crimps on that length. Going onto 4/0 or 2 AWG means a different pigtail sleeve in the PKL series, not this one.
3) Is the copper pigtail on the PKL58-1 tinned for aluminum-to-copper transitions?
The pigtail is tinplated copper joined to an aluminum sleeve, so the dissimilar metal joint is made at the factory rather than in your hand hole. Tin plating on the pin is what lets it land in a copper or aluminum-rated terminal without you building a bimetallic connection in the field.
4) How many pigtails come out of a Blackburn PKL58-1, and is it sold in packs?
Two conductors are involved in the termination, and it's sold each, not in a bag or box. Order one per cable end you're reducing, so a three-phase set plus neutral is four pieces.
5) What is the exact part number and origin for the 3/0 Blackburn pigtail sleeve, for submittal purposes?
Manufacturer part number PKL58-1, Blackburn brand, country of origin Mexico. Description on the submittal reads compression pin terminal, 3/0, .500 x 4.5 pigtail.
