Blackburn FBS4H130A1-28 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBS4H130A1-28 flexible braid connector used for?
It is a flat, flexible tin-plated copper braid connector used to make a flexible current-carrying connection between rigid bus or equipment terminals, where thermal expansion, vibration, or slight misalignment would stress a solid bar. The braid is 28 inches long and terminates in flat pads drilled for a 4-hole bolted pattern.
2) Is this flex braid tin plated, and does that matter for aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. Tin plating is what lets a copper braid land on an aluminum bus or terminal with far less galvanic corrosion than bare copper, and it holds up better in outdoor and substation environments.
3) Should I use a flexible braid shunt or a solid copper bus link between two terminals?
Use the braid where the two ends move relative to each other: switch blade shunts, transformer to bus connections, generator and breaker terminations, or any run with thermal growth or vibration. A solid bar is fine only when both ends are fixed and aligned. This one is catalogued as a flexible conductor in flat form, which is the shape that gives high surface area for current while still bending in one plane.
4) Are hardware and bolts included with this flexible braid connector?
The FBS4H130A1-28 ships as the braid assembly itself. Bolts, nuts, flat and Belleville washers for the four-hole pads are ordered separately, and should be sized to the bolt pattern and torqued to the connection spec for the bus you are landing on.
5) Is the Blackburn FBS4H130A1-28 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each, one braid per unit. If you are shunting a three-phase switch you will need three.
6) Where is the Blackburn FBS4H130A1-28 flex braid made?
Manufactured in the United States, which is the answer most government, utility, and federally funded projects need for domestic-content documentation.
