Blackburn FB3F30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the Blackburn FB3F30 copper braid, and is that hole-to-hole or overall?
The cable length on the FB3F30 is 30 inches. That is the braid length as catalogued; if your bond run is measured hole to hole between two pads, allow for the terminal ferrules at each end when you lay it out.
2) Will a flexible braid like the FB3F30 work across a moving joint, such as a transformer, busway expansion, or equipment door?
That is exactly what it is built for. The FB3F30 is a flexible, flat braided conductor rather than a solid or stranded cable, so it tolerates repeated vibration and movement between two bonded points without work-hardening the way a rigid jumper does.
3) How does the FB3F30 mount? Does it need a lug or a compression connector?
No separate lug needed. It is a 2-hole flexible braid connector, so the terminals are formed onto the braid at each end and bolt straight to a NEMA 2-hole ground pad. You supply the bolts, washers, and any anti-oxidant compound your spec calls for.
4) Is the FB3F30 braid bare copper or plated?
Tin-plated copper. The plating is what you want where the bond sits outdoors, in a damp vault, or against dissimilar metal, since bare copper corrodes faster in those spots and plated strands hold their conductivity better over time.
5) Why choose a 2-hole braid instead of a single-hole ground strap?
Two bolts stop the connection rotating on the pad, which matters on equipment that vibrates or gets serviced. Most commercial and utility grounding specs call out a two-hole pad connection for that reason, and the FB3F30 is a 2-hole flexible braid connector built to land on one.
6) Is the Blackburn FB3F30 made in the USA, and is it sold individually?
Country of origin is the United States, and it sells each, so one braid per order line. Useful if you are buying against a domestic-preference or Buy American clause on a government or institutional job.
7) What part number do I order for the 30 inch Blackburn flex braid?
Order Blackburn FB3F30. That is the manufacturer part number for the 30 inch tin-plated copper flexible braid with two-hole terminals.
