Blackburn EXH140A11000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn EXH140A11000 flexible braid connector used for?
It is an extra flexible braid connector, tin-plated copper, rated 1400A, built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34. Braid connectors like this one carry current across a joint that has to move or flex, typically substation and switchgear bus connections where thermal expansion, vibration, or equipment movement would fatigue a rigid bar. The flat, flexible braid conductor absorbs that movement while keeping the current path.
2) What does the 4-hole pad on the EXH140A11000 mean for bolting it to my bus bar?
The terminal pads are drilled with four holes each, so the connection is a four-bolt joint rather than a two-bolt. That is standard practice at this current level: 1400A needs the contact pressure and contact area that four bolts give you. Match the pad drilling to your existing bus bar pattern before ordering, and plan on supplying your own bolts, nuts, and Belleville washers, since hardware is not part of the connector.
3) Does this braid connector meet the standard my switchgear spec calls out?
The Blackburn EXH140A11000 is built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard for high-voltage air switches and their connection components. If the drawing calls for a C37.34 flexible connector at 1400A, this one answers that line item. It is made in the United States, which covers the domestic-origin requirement some institutional and government jobs carry.
4) Is the Blackburn EXH140A11000 suitable for aluminum bus bar, or only copper?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what makes a copper-to-aluminum joint workable, since it keeps bare copper off the aluminum face and slows galvanic corrosion at the contact. Use a joint compound rated for the metal pair and follow the torque the bus manufacturer specifies.
5) Can I use a flexible braid connector instead of a solid copper bus link?
Use the braid where the joint has to move. Solid bus links are fine on fixed, rigid runs, but any point that sees thermal growth, equipment vibration, seismic movement, or a switch operating stroke will eventually crack a rigid link or loosen the bolted pad. The flat flexible braid takes that motion instead. Where nothing moves and you just need to bridge a gap, a rigid link is simpler and cheaper.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the 1400A 4-hole 1000 mm Blackburn braid?
Order Blackburn EXH140A11000. In that designation the 140A reads 1400 amps, the 4H is the four-hole pad drilling, and 1000MM is the braid length. Adjacent Blackburn EX-FLEX numbers change ampacity, hole count, or length, so confirm all three against your spec rather than the ampacity alone.
