Blackburn FBE12-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBE12-1 bonding jumper rated for and how long is it?
The FBE12-1 is a 1200 amp flexible braid bonding jumper, 12 inches long. It is a flat, extra-flexible braid with a single bolt hole at each end, sold individually.
2) Is the FBE12-1 braid jumper UL listed for use in switchgear grounding?
It carries UL E3060 and CSA LR29625 file listings, so it is recognized on both sides of the border for bonding and grounding use. Those are the listings held on record for the part; no ampacity standard beyond the 1200 amp rating is stated.
3) Will a tin-plated copper braid jumper work on aluminum bus or enclosure surfaces?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what makes bare copper acceptable against aluminum bus and galvanized enclosure steel, since it slows the galvanic action you get with bare copper on aluminum. Use an approved joint compound at the aluminum connection as the bus manufacturer specifies.
4) Why use a flat braid jumper instead of a stranded cable bonding jumper?
Flat extra-flexible braid flexes repeatedly without work-hardening, so it is the usual choice for bonding across expansion joints, seismic breaks, switchgear and transformer doors, and equipment that vibrates or gets opened. A stranded cable jumper of the same ampacity is stiffer and takes more room to bend. The FBE12-1 is flat, flexible braid construction.
5) Does the FBE12-1 come with bolts, washers or lugs to mount it?
No hardware is included. The FBE12-1 ships as the braid jumper alone, one per unit, with a single hole at each terminal pad. Plan on supplying your own bolt, nut, and belleville or flat washers sized to the bus hole, plus joint compound if you are landing on aluminum.
6) Is the Blackburn FBE12-1 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the FBE12-1 is the United States, which is what most federal, transit, and public-works specs want documented for a bonding jumper. Order it by manufacturer part number FBE12-1.
7) How much distance can a 12 inch braid jumper actually bridge?
Overall braid length is 12 inches, and that figure includes the terminal pads at each end. Once you allow for the bolt holes and a service loop so the braid is not pulled taut, the practical gap it bonds across is shorter than 12 inches. If your two bolt centers are close to a foot apart, step up to a longer braid rather than stretching this one.
