Blackburn SWC150A1703 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn SWC150A1703 flexible braid connector used for?
It's a flexible braid shunt connector used to carry current between two rigid bus or equipment terminals while allowing movement, thermal expansion, and vibration between them. The conductor is a flat, flexible tin-plated copper braid with a 4-hole pad at each end, rated 1500A, and it's built to IEEE / ANSI C37, 34.
2) Will a 4-hole braid connector bolt to my existing 2-hole bus pad?
No. The SWC150A1703 has a 4-hole terminal pad on each end, so the mating bus or equipment pad has to be drilled with a matching 4-hole pattern. If your bus is punched 2-hole, you need a 2-hole braid connector instead, or a bus pad adapter drilled to match.
3) Is this braid connector rated for outdoor substation switchgear duty?
The SWC150A1703 is built to IEEE / ANSI C37, 34, the switch and switchgear standards family, and the conductor is tin-plated copper, a plating used to slow oxidation on the braid strands and the terminal pads. Current rating is 1500A.
4) Should I use a flexible braid or a solid copper bus link between two terminals?
Use a braid where the two ends move relative to each other, from thermal expansion, equipment settling, breaker racking, or vibration. A solid bar transmits that stress into the terminals. The SWC150A1703 is a flat flexible braid, which keeps the cross section wide for cooling while staying pliable; a rigid link is the better choice only when both ends are fixed and alignment is exact.
5) Does the Blackburn SWC150A1703 come as a pair, and are bolts included?
It is sold each, so one braid per order. Hardware to bolt the pads down is not part of the item, so plan on supplying bolts, washers, and Belleville washers to match the 4-hole pad pattern and your bus drilling.
6) Is the Blackburn SWC150A1703 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters if the job carries a domestic sourcing requirement on electrical components.
7) What part number do I quote to reorder this Blackburn flex braid?
Blackburn MPN SWC150A1703, the 1500A tin-plated copper flexible braid with 4-hole pads at 703 mm. The number itself encodes the rating and length, so a different amperage or span is a different suffix.
