Blackburn CTL202 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL202 compression lug take?
The CTL202 is sized for 2/0 conductor, as the product name states (2/0). It is a copper compression lug, so it terminates copper cable of that size. Crimp it with the die set your tool manufacturer specifies for a 2/0 copper barrel.
2) What bolt size do the CTL202 lug pads fit?
Half inch. The CTL202 has a 1/2 inch stud size, and it is a two-hole tongue, so it lands on a bus or pad drilled for two 1/2 inch bolts.
3) Can I use the Blackburn CTL202 on medium voltage cable terminations?
Yes, it carries a 35 kV voltage rating, which covers typical 5 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV shielded power cable terminations. It is UL listed under file E9809.
4) Can I land aluminum cable in the Blackburn CTL202?
No. The CTL202 is a copper compression lug and is intended for copper conductors. For aluminum or dual-rated feeders, use a lug listed AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied compression lug of the matching size.
5) Is the CTL202 a long barrel or short barrel lug, and does that matter?
Short barrel. That is the SHRT BRL in the CTL202 designation. A short barrel takes a single crimp and needs less room behind the pad, which helps in tight terminal cabinets and switchgear compartments. If your spec calls for a long barrel with two crimps for higher pullout, this is not the part.
6) Is the two-hole CTL202 better than a one-hole lug for a ground bus?
A two-hole tongue resists rotation on the pad, which is why most utility and data center grounding specs call for it. The CTL202 gives you that with 1/2 inch bolt holes. A one-hole lug is quicker but can spin under fault torque, so only use one where the spec allows it.
7) Why is the Blackburn CTL202 lug black instead of bare copper?
The black finish is a coating over the copper barrel. Copper is the conductor material; the black color is how these medium voltage compression lugs are commonly identified and protected in the field.
8) Are CTL202 lugs sold individually or in bags?
Each. The CTL202 is sold as a single lug, so order one per conductor termination, plus spares for miscrimps.
