Blackburn PBH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Blackburn PBH ground plate take?
The PBH is rated for 14 through 4 AWG conductors, so it covers everything from small bonding jumpers up to a 4 AWG ground run on a pole.
2) Does the Blackburn PBH require crimping or exothermic welding?
No. It's a mechanical connection, so the conductor is clamped, not crimped or welded. No press tool, no weld mold, no cartridges. That's the reason crews use plates like this for field terminations where hauling a crimper or exothermic kit up to the pole isn't practical.
3) What is the Blackburn PBH pole ground plate and where does it get used?
The Blackburn PBH is a copper pole ground plate, a mechanical-connection grounding device used to bond a ground conductor to a wood utility or light pole. It's solid copper with a riveted copper strap and carries no insulation, so the bond is metal to metal. It's RUS Listed, which is what utility and co-op line work typically calls for.
4) How much surface area do I need on the pole to mount a PBH ground plate?
Plan for a flat mounting face of at least 7 by 7-5/8 inches, which is the plate's footprint. On a small-diameter pole you'll want to confirm the plate seats flat across that span before you fasten it.
5) Is the Blackburn PBH all copper, or copper-plated steel?
Copper is the stated conductor material and the strap is riveted copper, so you're joining copper to copper at the pole. That keeps the dissimilar-metal problem out of the connection when you're landing a bare copper ground wire.
6) Is the Blackburn PBH ground plate sold individually or in a box quantity?
It's sold each, one plate per unit, under Blackburn part number PBH. Order the count you need per pole.
7) Does the PBH pole ground plate have any kind of test point or indicator?
No indicator of any kind is part of the plate. It's a straight bonding connection, so if you need to verify continuity or resistance you'll be doing it with a meter or clamp tester, not reading anything off the plate.
