Blackburn EXA035A3360 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn EXA035A3360 braid copper, and is it plated?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets it bolt to aluminum or copper pads without the galvanic problem bare copper creates on aluminum, and it slows oxidation on outdoor switchgear.
2) How many bolt holes are on the terminal pads of this Blackburn flex braid?
It is a 1-hole extra flexible braid connector, so each terminal pad takes a single bolt. If the equipment pad on your switch or bus is drilled for two-hole NEMA spacing, this one will not match the drilling and you want a 2-hole braid instead.
3) What is the Blackburn EXA series flexible braid connector actually used for?
It is a flexible braid shunt, flat in shape, used to carry current across a joint that has to move or vibrate, such as a disconnect switch, bus expansion joint, or equipment where rigid bus cannot be used. The EXA035A3360 is built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering high voltage air switches, which is where these braids are most commonly applied.
4) Is the Blackburn EXA flex braid made in the USA for a Buy American project?
Country of origin on the EXA035A3360 is the United States, which is the line item a government, utility, or federally funded procurement group needs for domestic-content documentation.
5) Can I use a flat braid shunt instead of flexible cable on a disconnect switch connection?
That is exactly the trade-off these are made for. A flat braid flexes in the plane of the strap with far less reaction force than round cable of equivalent capacity, so it does not fight the switch mechanism or fatigue the terminal pad. Round flexible cable is the better pick where the movement is in several directions or where you need long runs; a flat extra flexible braid like the EXA035A3360 suits short, repeated, mostly single-axis movement at a bolted pad.
6) Does the Blackburn EXA035A3360 come as a single piece or in a pack?
It sells each, as one complete braid with its pads. Shunts are normally replaced in sets across all phases, so for a three-phase switch plan on three pieces per position.
