Blackburn STB150A1508 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn STB150A1508 flexible braid connector rated for and where is it used?
The STB150A1508 is a flat flexible braid connector rated 1500A, built for bus-to-bus and switchgear jumper connections where thermal expansion or equipment movement has to be absorbed without stressing the bus. It is a two-hole style braid and it is manufactured to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering high-voltage air switches and their connecting parts.
2) Is the Blackburn 1500A flex braid tin plated, and does that matter for aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets a copper braid land on aluminum bus or aluminum switch pads without the galvanic corrosion you would get from bare copper on aluminum, and it slows oxidation on the contact face in outdoor and substation service.
3) Should I use a flexible braid connector or a solid bus link between two bus sections?
Use a rigid link only where nothing moves. A flexible braid like the STB150A1508 is the right call when the connection has to take thermal growth of the bus, vibration from a breaker or switch operation, or slight misalignment between two pads. Solid links transfer all of that straight into the bolted joint and the insulators. Where the two pads are fixed, coplanar, and in a temperature-stable indoor enclosure, a solid link is simpler.
4) Does the Blackburn 1500A braid connector come with bolts and hardware?
The STB150A1508 is the braid itself, a two-hole flat tin-plated copper conductor. Bolting hardware, Belleville washers, and any joint compound are specified separately to suit the pad material and torque spec of the equipment you are landing on.
5) Is this Blackburn braid connector made in the USA for government and utility procurement?
Country of origin on the STB150A1508 is the United States, which is what agencies and utilities with domestic-content requirements on substation and switchgear material need on the submittal. It is also built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34.
6) Is the Blackburn STB150A1508 sold as a single piece or in a pack?
It ships each, one braid per unit, under manufacturer part number STB150A1508. Order the quantity to match your phase count, so a three-phase bus connection takes three.
