Blackburn SWD160A1800 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the Blackburn SWD160A1800 flexible braid connector?
The SWD160A1800 braid is 800 mm long, which is the 31.50 inch length called out in the part description. That is the overall braid length between the terminal pads, so measure your gap between the switch blade and the bus or ground connection before ordering.
2) What is the bolt pattern on the Blackburn SWD160A1800 braid terminals?
It is a 4-hole NEMA pad on the terminals, so it bolts to standard NEMA four-hole drilled bus pads and switch terminals. If your existing pad is two-hole, this braid will not line up.
3) What is the SWD160A1800 flexible braid made of, and will it hold up outdoors in a substation?
The conductor is tin-plated copper in a flat, flexible braid construction. Tin plating on copper is the standard corrosion-resistant finish for outdoor switchgear and substation shunt connections, and the braid form takes the movement and thermal expansion that a rigid bus bar jumper cannot.
4) Should I use a flexible braid shunt or a solid bus bar jumper between a switch blade and the bus?
Use the flexible braid where the connection has to move: disconnect switch blades, expansion joints, and anywhere thermal growth or vibration would otherwise stress a bolted joint. A solid bar is fine only on fixed, rigidly supported bus runs. The SWD160A1800 is the flexible flat-braid type, tin-plated copper, with 4-hole NEMA pads on each end.
5) Does the SWD160A1800 braid come with the bolts and hardware to mount it?
The order covers the braid itself, one each, with the 4-hole NEMA terminal pads. Bolts, nuts, flat and Belleville washers for the pad connections are ordered separately, so plan on eight fasteners per braid, sized to your pad drilling.
6) Is the Blackburn SWD160A1800 sold individually or in a pack, and is it made in the USA?
It sells as each, one braid per order, so for a three-phase switch you order three. Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are working a job with domestic-sourcing requirements.
