Which three conductor sizes are said to end in camlock connectors?

• A. 4/0, 2/0 and #2
• B. 3/0, 1/0 and #1
• C. 2/0, 3/0 and #4
• D. 1/0, #3 and #2

Answer: (A)

Camlock connectors are used on heavy-duty power cables, so the conductors that end with camlock terminations are typically the largest common feeder sizes. The trio of sizes that fit these camlock terminations is 4/0 AWG, 2/0 AWG, and 2 AWG (written as #2). These sizes are standard in practice for camlock-equipped cables because they match the hardware’s lug openings and current ratings found on portable power distribution gear. Smaller or differently profiled conductors usually don’t use camlock terminations, which is why the other size groups aren’t the standard camlock ends.
