Blackburn SWA070A1314 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn SWA070A1314 flexible braid connector used for?
It's a flexible braid shunt connector, tin-plated copper, made to carry current across a joint that has to move or flex, typically between switchgear bus, disconnect blades, or breaker terminals. The braid is flat rather than round, so it flexes in one plane while keeping a large surface area for current. Each unit is sold individually and is built to IEEE / ANSI C37, 34.
2) Is the SWA070A1314 braid a one-hole or two-hole connector?
One hole per terminal pad. If your bus or blade prep is drilled for two-hole NEMA spacing, a 1-hole braid will not bolt up squarely and you want a 2-hole flexible braid instead.
3) What does the 700A in the Blackburn SWA070A1314 part number mean?
700A is the ampere rating designation in Blackburn's SWA flexible braid series, and it is what sizes the braid's cross section. Match the braid rating to the continuous current of the switch or breaker it shunts, not just to the bolt hole size.
4) Does the Blackburn SWA070A1314 braid meet switchgear standards for a utility or institutional spec?
It is built to IEEE / ANSI C37, 34, the standard family covering high-voltage air switches and their current-carrying parts, which is normally what a substation or switchgear submittal calls for on a flexible shunt.
5) Do I get hardware with the Blackburn SWA070A1314 braid, or do I supply the bolts?
The SWA070A1314 is sold as a single braid assembly, each. Mounting bolts, washers, and any belleville hardware for the bus connection are separate, so order them to match your pad drilling and bolt size.
6) Why is the braid tin-plated instead of bare copper?
Tin plating on the copper braid slows oxidation at the bolted terminal and on the strands themselves, which keeps joint resistance stable over time and suits outdoor or humid switchgear enclosures. It also mates more forgivingly with aluminum or plated bus than bare copper does.
