What is the terminal lug data for ALL of the 300 and 400 A meter mains and all-in-one CSED devices?

Article available in these languages: Spanish

Issue:
Product Main Lug Wire size

Product Line:
Combination Service Entrance Device

Resolution:
Below is the terminal lug data information for ALL the current design 400 A CSEDs. There are a few exceptions.

1) The main service ground lug accepts a #4 AWG - 250 kcmil conductor.
2) The main phase and neutral lugs are not provided with the 400 A CSED devices. These devices are supplied with line and neutral lug landing pads for use with field installed mechanical or compression type lugs.

EXCEPTIONS:
A) QU816D400CK, QUM400CK, RU3040D400CK, and RU3040D400FK will ONLY accept the below optional compression type lugs. They will NOT accept the mechanical lugs.
B) QC816D400SL, QCD400SL, and RC816D400SL come standard with mechanical lugs from the factory. Each unit will accept (1) #4 - 600 kcmil OR (2) 1/0 - 350 kcmil Al/Cu wires per phase and neutral.

3) For the standard mechanical lugs, the lug kit CMELK4 can be used. This lug kit consists of four lugs, each lug capable of terminating (1) #2 AWG - 600 kcmil Al/Cu conductor. Only three of the four lugs provided in the CMELK4 kit will be used. Below are optional mechanical lugs that are listed on the device wiring diagrams.
NOTE: NONE of the 400 A CSED units will allow for parallel line hase or neutral lugs, except for the ones listed above under exceptions.

Optional Mechanical Lugs:
1) ILSCO TA-600-2N ((1) #2 AWG - 600 kcmil Al/Cu)
2) ILSCO TA-800-2N ((1) 300 - 800 kcmil Al/Cu)
3) Anderson L1D2-350 ((1) #6 AWG - 350 kcmil Al/Cu)
4) Anderson L1D2-800 ((1) 300 - 800 kcmil Al/Cu)

Optional Anderson Compression lugs:
1) Anderson VHCL-600-12BN (wire range (1) 250 - 600 kcmil Cu)
2) Anderson VHCL-750-12BN (wire range (1) 500 - 750 kcmil Cu)
Note: For Anderson compression lugs, use VERSA-CRIMP VC 6FT, VC 7FT or VC 8C crimping tools.
