Blackburn TSL8E10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor range does the Blackburn TSL8E10 transformer connector take?
The TSL8E10 accepts conductors from 6 AWG through 500 kcmil in each of its secondary ports, so one connector covers a wide mix of feeder and tap sizes on the same transformer lug. All eight ports share that same range, which is what lets you land several different cable sizes without stocking multiple connector bodies.
2) Will the TSL8E10 fit a 3/8 inch transformer stud?
Yes. The threaded stud opening is sized at 3/8 inch outside diameter, so it mounts on a 3/8 inch transformer terminal stud. If the transformer bushing stud is a different diameter, this is the wrong body and you need the matching stud size in the series.
3) What is the ampacity of the TSL8E10 transformer connector?
It carries a 1100 A current rating. That is the figure to check your transformer secondary against before you specify it; if your calculated secondary current exceeds 1100 A, you need a larger connector or a second stud position.
4) How many cables can I land on one Blackburn TSL8E10?
Eight. The connector gives you eight secondary ports off a single threaded stud, which is how you break one transformer terminal out to multiple load conductors without doubling up lugs on the stud. It ships and is sold one connector at a time, so an eight-way split is one part number.
5) Do I need to crimp the TSL8E10, or is it a mechanical connector?
It's a mechanical connector, so it is set up with a wrench or hex key rather than a crimp tool and die set. That matters on a service call or in a tight transformer cabinet where you can't get a hydraulic crimper around the conductor.
6) Is the Blackburn TSL8E10 aluminum or copper bodied, and can I use it on copper conductors?
The body is aluminum. Aluminum-bodied mechanical connectors of this style are normally dual-rated for aluminum and copper conductors, but confirm the AL9CU marking stamped on the body you receive before landing copper on it. Where the run is copper-only and you want a copper body, ask for the copper equivalent in the same stud size.
7) Is the TSL8E10 made in the USA for a Buy American specification?
Country of origin on the TSL8E10 is the United States, which is the line item a government, school district, or utility buyer working to a domestic-content clause needs on the submittal.
8) What part number do I order for the eight-position Blackburn stud connector?
Order Blackburn TSL8E10. That single MPN is the eight-position, 6 AWG to 500 kcmil threaded stud transformer connector for a 3/8 inch stud, sold as each.
