Blackburn FBE16-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBE16-1 bonding jumper rated for and how long is it?
The Blackburn FBE16-1 is a 1200 amp flexible braid bonding jumper, 16 inches long. The braid itself is flat, extra-flexible tin-plated copper, and it is a one-hole connector, so each end lands on a single bolt.
2) Is the FBE16-1 braided jumper UL listed for grounding and bonding work?
It carries UL E3060 and CSA LR29625 file listings, which is what an inspector or a spec on a switchgear job will normally be looking for on a bonding jumper.
3) Why use a flexible braid bonding jumper instead of a solid copper bar or a cable jumper?
Flat braid is the choice where the two bonded points move relative to each other, vibrate, or need to be broken apart for service: transformer enclosures, generator sets, switchgear doors, expansion joints in busway. The FBE16-1 is an extra-flexible flat braid, so it takes that movement without loading the bolted connections the way a rigid bar would. Where both points are fixed and the run is long, a compression lug and cable is the simpler build.
4) Does the FBE16-1 come with bolts and washers, and how many do I get per order?
It is sold each, one jumper per unit, and the 1-hole terminal pads are the connector itself. Mounting hardware is the bolt, nut, and washers already in your gear or supplied separately, sized to the pad hole and to the torque spec of the equipment you are landing on. Order one per bond point you are jumping.
5) What part number do I quote for a 1200 amp, 16 inch Blackburn braided bonding jumper?
Blackburn FBE16-1. That is the manufacturer part number, and it is the only configuration in the family at 16 inches and 1200 amps with 1-hole pads.
6) Will the tin plating on this braid hold up on an outdoor or damp-location ground bond?
The conductor is tin-plated copper, which is the standard plating used to slow oxidation at the braid strands and at the bolted pads. That is what you want for exterior pad-mount gear, damp vaults, and aluminum-to-copper bolted joints where a bare copper braid would dull and add resistance over time.
7) Is the Blackburn FBE16-1 made in North America for a Buy American or Canadian-content spec?
Country of origin on the FBE16-1 is listed as United States and Canada. On federally funded work, confirm the specific origin required by your contract language, since the part is sourced from both.
