Blackburn EXH150A1270 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn EXH150A1270 flexible braid connector rated for, and what is it used for?
The EXH150A1270 is an extra flexible braid connector rated 1500 amp, used to make a flexible current-carrying link between rigid bus or terminal pads where movement, vibration, or thermal expansion has to be absorbed. The braid is flat in shape and made of tin-plated copper, and it is classed as very flexible, so it takes repeated flexing without stressing the bolted joints at either end. It is sold each.
2) How many bolt holes does the EXH150A1270 flex connector have?
Four holes. Check that against the drilling in your bus bar or terminal pad, since a four-hole pad pattern is what this braid lands on. A two-hole pad will not take it without redrilling.
3) Is the braid on this 1500 amp Blackburn connector plated, and does that matter for aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what protects the copper braid from oxidizing at the bolted joint and is the usual reason a plated braid gets specified where the connection sees humidity or a dissimilar-metal pad. Use the joint compound and hardware your bus manufacturer calls for at aluminum pads.
4) Should I use a flexible braid connector or a solid bus link between two bus sections?
Use a braid where the two ends move relative to each other, from equipment vibration, thermal growth in a long bus run, or slight misalignment during installation. A solid link transfers that movement straight into the bolted joints and the bus supports. The EXH150A1270 is in the very flexible class with a flat braid, which is the type chosen for expansion joints and generator or transformer terminations at 1500 amp. If both ends are rigid and fixed, a solid bar or splice plate is the simpler choice.
5) Is the Blackburn EXH150A1270 made in the USA, and what do I order it by?
Country of origin is the United States. Order it by manufacturer part number EXH150A1270, one connector per unit. Bolts, washers, and joint compound are separate items.
