Blackburn PCS72-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn PCS72-6 pigtail compression sleeve used for?
It's a compression reducer for wire or cable: an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached copper pigtail, so you crimp the sleeve onto a larger conductor and land the smaller tinplated copper pigtail on your terminal or connector. Rated 35 kV, which puts it in medium-voltage cable work rather than building branch circuits.
2) Is the PCS72-6 rated for medium voltage cable?
Yes, the PCS72-6 carries a 35 kV voltage rating, so it suits shielded medium-voltage cable terminations up to that class. It ships with no insulation on the sleeve itself, so the insulating and jacketing work is on you, tape, tubing, or a kit as your cable system requires.
3) Do I need a compression tool for the Blackburn PCS72-6, or can it be bolted?
Compression only. The connection type is compression, so it has to be crimped with the correct die, there is no bolted or set screw option on this sleeve. If you need a mechanical connection you can make with a wrench, look at a set screw or bolted reducer instead.
4) Does the PCS72-6 handle two conductors?
It's built for 2 conductors, so it's the part to use where you're reducing or pigtailing a two-conductor run rather than a single. A one-conductor job needs a different sleeve in the series.
5) Will the aluminum sleeve cause a dissimilar metal problem where the pigtail lands?
The pigtail is copper with a tinplated finish, which is what you want landing on a copper or tinned lug. The aluminum is confined to the sleeve body that gets crimped onto the cable, so the dissimilar metal junction is made inside the factory crimp rather than at your terminal.
6) Is the PCS72-6 sold individually or in a box?
Sold each, so you can order the exact count for the splice or termination you're doing instead of buying a carton. Part number is PCS72-6, made in Mexico.
