Overview

The ABB Type LCN Copper Two-Hole Lug (SKU: LCN2-516) is a high-conductivity copper lug designed for heavy-duty electrical connections in medium-voltage systems up to 35kV. This long-barrel lug accommodates two AWG wire sizes, providing a secure termination point for 2-strand conductors. The 5/16-inch bolt hole ensures compatibility with standard hardware, while the tin plating enhances corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity in harsh environments. The brown die color code simplifies identification in inventory and installation workflows. This lug is ideal for power distribution panels, switchgear, transformers, and industrial control systems where reliable, low-resistance connections are critical. The copper construction minimizes heat buildup under load, reducing the risk of thermal degradation over time. The two-hole design allows for parallel conductor connections or redundant grounding paths, improving system reliability. Rated for maximum 35kV applications, this lug meets the demands of medium-voltage installations in commercial, industrial, and utility settings. The long barrel provides additional strain relief for conductors, reducing the risk of pull-out or vibration-induced loosening. Compliance with industry standards ensures safe operation in electrical enclosures and outdoor installations.

How to Install Compression Connectors, Lugs, and Splices

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing compression connectors, lugs, and splices on electrical cables, ensuring proper crimping and connection integrity.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Wire brush (e.g., ABB catalog number WWB1), Crimping tool (e.g., Blackburn, Burndy, T&B, Dieless hydraulic)

Supplies needed:

Compression connector (lug or splice), Electrical cable, Oxide inhibitor

  1. Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation. CAUTION: Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Confirm the compatibility of the aluminum connector and cable size before proceeding.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Strip cable insulation, being careful to avoid damage to the cable's strands. Use a wire brush (e.g., ABB catalog number WWB1) to thoroughly brush the cable side that will be inserted into the connector to remove any oxidation.

  3. Insert and Crimp the Cable

    Fully insert the prepared cable into the connector. Refer to the 'Tool and Die Index' in the product documentation to select the appropriate crimping tool and die combination for your specific cable size. Crimp the connector the number of times indicated in the chart for your chosen tool/die combination. For splices, make the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center and space subsequent crimps uniformly. For lugs, make the first crimp at the inner end of the barrel and space crimps uniformly along the barrel.

  4. Finalize the Connection

    Wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor from the completed connection to ensure a clean finish.
