Blackburn CTL250-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL250-12 compression lug take?
The CTL250-12 is sized for 250 kcmil copper conductor. It is a one hole, short barrel compression lug, so the conductor is crimped into the barrel rather than clamped by a set screw. Using it on a smaller conductor than 250 kcmil will not give you a proper crimp.
2) Is the CTL250-12 lug copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
It is a copper lug, tin plated, intended for copper conductor. For aluminum feeders you need an aluminum bodied or dual rated AL9CU connector, not this one.
3) Should I use a compression lug like the CTL250-12 or a mechanical set screw lug on my 250 kcmil feeder?
A compression lug like this one is crimped once with a die and is done, no torque check and no retorque later, which is why it is the common choice inside gear that is hard to get back into. A mechanical set screw lug needs no crimp tool and can be removed and reused, so it suits field changes or where you have no hydraulic tool on site. This one is compression, short barrel, single 1/2 inch stud hole.
4) Is the Blackburn CTL250-12 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
It is sold each, one lug per unit, so a three phase plus neutral termination means ordering four. Part number to specify is CTL250-12.
5) What is the difference between a short barrel and a long barrel compression lug for 250 kcmil?
The CTL250-12 is a short barrel, taking a single crimp. A long barrel version has a deeper wire well for two crimps, which some specs call for on high vibration or high pull applications. Where space behind the termination is tight, the short barrel is the one that fits.
