Blackburn EXB110A11830 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What current is the EX-FLEX braid connector rated to carry?
The EXB110A11830 is an 1100 amp extra-flexible braid connector, built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering high-voltage air switch connectors. If your bus run needs more than 1100 A, you need a larger braid or parallel braids, not this one.
2) How does this braid connector bolt to the bus bar?
It is a 2-hole connector, so each end terminates in a flat pad with two bolt holes. Two-hole pads resist rotation under fault-current forces and vibration, which is why switchgear and substation bus connections usually call for them over single-bolt pads. You supply the bolts, nuts, and Belleville washers to match your bus drilling.
3) Why use a flexible braid instead of a solid copper bus link between two bus sections?
A braid absorbs movement. This one is a flexible, flat-shaped braided conductor, so it takes up thermal expansion and contraction of the bus, seismic movement, and the travel on a disconnect switch or transformer connection without transferring stress into the bolted pads. A rigid bus link in the same spot puts that load straight onto the terminals. Where there is no relative motion, rigid bar is the cheaper and simpler choice.
4) Is the braid tin plated, and does that matter for connecting to aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets you land it on aluminum bus without a bare copper-to-aluminum couple, and it slows oxidation on the pad faces so contact resistance stays low over time. Still clean the mating surfaces and use the joint compound and torque your bus spec calls for.
5) What is the exact part number and where is the Blackburn EX-FLEX braid made?
Order it as Blackburn EXB110A11830, an 1100 A two-hole extra-flexible braid, 1830 mm long. Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are procuring against a domestic-content requirement on a utility or public project.
6) Does the EXB110A11830 come as a single piece or in a multi-pack?
It is sold each, one braid connector per unit, with both pads already terminated on the braid. For a three-phase connection you order three.
