Blackburn FBS2H110A1-16 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Blackburn FBS2H110A1-16 flexible braid a 2-hole or 1-hole connector?
It's a 2-hole flexible braid connector. Both ends terminate in drilled pads rather than a single bolt hole, so each end needs two bolts through the bus, pad, or ground plate. Two-hole terminations resist rotation under fault current and vibration, which is why they're specified on switchgear and substation bus jumpers instead of single-hole lugs.
2) How long is the FBS2H110A1-16 braid jumper, and does the length include the pads?
The cable length is 16 inches. That figure is the braid portion listed on the spec, so lay out your bus gap allowing for the terminal pads and some slack in the braid, a braid shunt should never be pulled taut between two points it is meant to allow movement between.
3) What is this Blackburn flex braid actually used for on a switchgear job?
It's a flexible shunt or jumper used where two current-carrying points must stay electrically bonded while still moving relative to each other, breaker and disconnect switch blades, expansion joints in rigid bus, transformer-to-bus connections, and grounding jumpers across hinged or sliding parts. The flat braid flexes over thousands of operations where a solid bar or rigid cable would fatigue and crack.
4) Is the braid copper, and will it corrode where it bolts to aluminum or galvanized bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is the point: it slows oxidation on the braid strands and on the pad faces, and it's the standard finish used where copper has to bolt up to dissimilar metal. Even so, for a copper-to-aluminum joint use the appropriate joint compound and a bimetallic washer arrangement the way your spec calls for, plating alone is not a substitute for that.
5) Why choose a flat braid shunt instead of a piece of flexible cable with two lugs?
Flat braid gives you a wide, thin cross-section that bends easily in one plane and has more surface area for heat dissipation than a round cable of similar section, so it takes repeated switch operation without work-hardening. A cable-and-lug assembly is stiffer at the crimp and tends to fail at the barrel. If the two points you're connecting never move, rigid bus bar or a plain cable jumper is the cheaper answer, the braid is for movement.
6) Is the Blackburn FBS2H110A1-16 sold individually or in a pack, and is it US made?
Sold each, one braid per unit, so order one per connection point, and remember a three-phase switch needs three. Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you're buying against a domestic-preference or Buy American requirement on a utility or federal job.
