Blackburn SWC235A12000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What standard does the Blackburn SWC235A12000 flex connector meet?
It is built to IEEE / ANSI C37 and C34 1994. Those are the switchgear and high-voltage connector standards, so this braid is specified for substation and switchgear bus work rather than general building wiring. If a submittal asks for a C37-compliant flexible bus connector, this one answers it.
2) Is the Blackburn SWC235A12000 a flat braid or a round cable connector?
Flat. The SWC235A12000 is a flexible copper braid with a flat conductor shape and a 4-hole terminal pad at the ends. Flat braid stacks tight against a bus bar face and flexes in one plane, which is what you want on substation bus and switchgear connections. If your application needs bending in every direction, a round flexible conductor is the better call.
3) How many bolt holes are on the pads of this Blackburn flexible braid connector?
Four per pad. The SWC235A12000 is a 4-hole flexible braid connector, so it lands on a standard NEMA four-hole bus drilling pattern. Bolts, washers and belleville hardware are a separate order item, so make sure you have the right diameter and grade for the pad before the crew gets to the yard.
4) What is the conductor size on the Blackburn SWC235A12000?
The cable diameter is listed at 1/2 inch on this copper braid. Use that to check clearance where the braid passes through cutouts or between adjacent phases, and to confirm the ampacity the engineer sized for matches what you're installing.
5) Why use a flexible braid connector instead of a rigid bus link between two bus sections?
A flexible braid absorbs movement that a solid link would transfer into the equipment. The SWC235A12000 is a flexible copper braid, so it takes up thermal expansion, settlement, and vibration between bus runs, transformers and switchgear while still carrying current. Rigid links are fine where both ends are fixed and aligned; anywhere there is relative motion or an expansion joint, the flexible braid is the part that keeps the joint from cracking.
6) Is this Blackburn flex connector made in the USA?
Yes, the SWC235A12000 braid connector has a country of origin of the United States. That matters on utility, federal and other domestic-preference jobs where the submittal package has to show origin for each bus component.
