Blackburn CTL500-58 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL500-58 compression lug take?
The CTL500-58 is sized for 500 kcmil copper conductor. It is a one hole, short barrel compression lug, so the conductor is inserted into the barrel and crimped with the matching die. Copper only, not dual rated for aluminum.
2) Can I use the Blackburn CTL500-58 on aluminum 500 kcmil feeder?
No. This is a copper connector, intended for copper conductor. Aluminum or copper-clad feeders need a dual rated AL9CU connector with the correct inhibitor compound. Using a copper-only barrel on aluminum is not an approved termination.
3) Why is the Blackburn 500 kcmil lug brown, and does the color mean anything?
Brown is the die color code marked on the connector. On copper compression lugs the color tells the installer which crimp die and index to use, so the barrel is compressed to the tested profile. Match the tool die to the brown code rather than guessing by barrel diameter.
4) Does the short barrel version fit in a tight gutter or panel wireway?
That is what the short barrel is for. The CTL500-58 is a standard barrel, short body, single hole lug, which gives a shorter overall length behind the pad than a long barrel two-hole lug and helps when bending room in a gutter or termination compartment is tight. A short barrel is a single crimp, so it is not the choice where the spec calls for a long barrel double crimp.
5) Is the Blackburn CTL500-58 sold individually or in a box?
It sells each, one lug per unit, so order the exact count of terminations you have. On a 500 kcmil three phase feeder with neutral and ground you are typically buying per conductor, per end.
6) What is the manufacturer part number and origin for this Blackburn 500 kcmil lug?
Blackburn part number CTL500-58, manufactured in Mexico. Distributors ordering against a submittal should quote the CTL500-58 designation, it identifies the 500 kcmil copper short barrel lug with the 5/8 inch one hole tongue.
