Blackburn EXH150A1420 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn EXH150A1420 flexible braid connector rated for?
The EXH150A1420 is a 1500 amp extra flexible braid connector with four bolt holes, built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering high voltage air switches. It is the flexible current-carrying link used between a switch blade, bus, or other apparatus and a fixed terminal where movement or thermal expansion has to be absorbed.
2) Why use a four-hole braid connector instead of a two-hole one?
Four-hole pads bolt to NEMA four-hole drilled bus and terminal pads, which is what you find at 1500 amp class current levels. The extra bolts spread clamping force across the pad and hold contact resistance down. If the bus pad in front of you is drilled for two bolts, this one will not land on it, and you want the two-hole version of the braid instead.
3) What is the Blackburn EXH150A1420 braid made of, and will it hold up outdoors in a substation?
The conductor is tin-plated copper in a flat, very flexible braid form. The tin plating is what keeps the copper from oxidizing at the contact faces, which is why this style is used on outdoor switchgear and substation bus connections built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34.
4) Can I use a flexible braid connector in place of a rigid bus link?
That is exactly what it is for. A rigid link transmits every bit of thermal expansion, vibration, and switch-blade movement straight into the bolted joints. The extra flexible braid takes that motion instead. Where the two ends of a connection move relative to each other, or where a device has to be removable without disturbing the bus, use the braid. Where both ends are fixed and aligned, a rigid link is fine.
5) What is the exact part number to order this Blackburn 1500 amp braid connector?
Blackburn EXH150A1420. That single part number covers the 1500 amp, four-hole, 420 mm flat tin-plated copper braid, and there are no finish or size options to specify with it.
6) Is the Blackburn EXH150A1420 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. One braid connector per unit, so order a piece for every connection point in the switch or bus run. It is made in the United States.
