Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8 flex braid used for on a substation or switchgear job?
It's a flexible shunt, used to carry current across a joint that has to move or take up thermal expansion and vibration: disconnect switch jumpers, breaker and switchgear terminal pads, bus expansion joints, transformer bushing connections. The flat braid flexes while the solid drilled pads bolt rigidly to each side. It is built to CEI60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994.
2) Is the Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8 braid copper, and will it corrode on outdoor aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets it bolt to aluminum bus or outdoor gear without the bare copper-to-aluminum galvanic problem, and it holds up in outdoor switchyard exposure.
3) Is the Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8 a 1-hole or 2-hole braid connector?
One hole per pad. A 1-hole pad is the right choice where the mating terminal is drilled single-hole, common on disconnect switch blades and smaller breaker pads. If your equipment pad is drilled on 1-3/4 inch centers for two bolts, you need a 2-hole braid instead, since a single bolt in a 2-hole prep can let the pad rotate.
4) Does the Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8 come with mounting bolts or hardware?
No. The braid is sold as a bare connector, one each, with drilled pads only. Bolts, nuts, flat and Belleville washers for the 9/16 inch holes are ordered separately, and the sizing depends on your pad thickness and torque spec.
5) Where is the Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8 made? I need domestic product for a federal job.
Country of origin is the United States, which matters on Buy American and federally funded utility work where domestic electrical components are required.
6) What is the exact part number for the 8 inch Blackburn flex braid with the 9/16 hole?
Blackburn FBS1H070A1-8. That single manufacturer part number covers the 1-hole tin-plated copper braid measuring 1/4 x 1.5 x 8 inches with 9/16 inch holes; there are no finish or size options to select under it.
