Blackburn PRS35N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn PRS35N pigtail compression sleeve used for?
The PRS35N is a compression reducer for wire or cable: an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached copper pigtail, so you can crimp it onto a larger conductor and land the smaller tinned copper pigtail on a terminal, bushing, or lug. It is rated 35 kV, which puts it in medium-voltage cable work rather than building branch circuits.
2) Is the Blackburn PRS35N rated for 35kV medium-voltage cable?
Yes, 35 kV is the stated voltage rating on the PRS35N pin terminal, and it is sized for 336 conductor. If you are working a 15 kV or 25 kV class system you can still use a 35 kV rated component, but the reverse is not true, so do not substitute a lower-rated sleeve onto a 35 kV circuit.
3) Does the PRS35N compression sleeve need a crimping tool, or can it be installed by hand?
It is a compression connection, not mechanical set-screw, so it has to be crimped with a die-type compression tool matched to the sleeve. There is no bolt or screw to tighten by hand, and no insulation is supplied on the part, so any covering or termination kit over the finished crimp is a separate item.
4) Does the Blackburn PRS35N come insulated or do I need to cover the crimp myself?
It ships bare. The insulation material on the PRS35N is listed as none, so the sleeve and pigtail are uninsulated metal and you supply whatever tape, tubing, or termination kit your 35 kV application calls for.
5) Will the aluminum body of the PRS35N cause a problem landing on a copper terminal?
No, and that is the point of the design. The sleeve that crimps to the cable is aluminum, while the pigtail that lands at the terminal is copper with a tin plating, so the dissimilar-metal transition is made inside the factory-attached joint rather than at your lug.
6) How is the Blackburn PRS35N sold, individually or in a bag?
Each. The selling unit of measure on the PRS35N is one piece, so order one per conductor you are terminating. Note the part carries two conductors in its build (the aluminum sleeve and the attached copper pigtail count as the conductor path), but it is still a single-cable termination.
7) What is the exact part number and country of origin for this Blackburn pin terminal?
Manufacturer part number PRS35N, from Blackburn, made in Mexico. Spec it by that number when you need the 336 pigtail version with the 1/2 x 8 inch tail rather than an adjacent sleeve size.
