Blackburn FBE30-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBE30-1 flexible braid used for?
The FBE30-1 is a 30 inch flat flexible braid bonding jumper, sized 168 kcmil, with a single-hole termination on each end. It is used where two bonded points move relative to each other or need vibration isolation, such as across expansion joints in busway or cable tray, transformer and generator connections, and equipment ground bonding. The braid construction lets the connection flex without work-hardening a solid conductor.
2) Is the Blackburn FBE30-1 braid UL listed for bonding work?
It carries UL file E3060 and CSA LR29625. Those are the listings an inspector or a spec writer will look for on a bonding jumper, and they are printed as the product standards for the FBE30-1.
3) How many bolt holes are on each end of the Blackburn FBE30-1?
One. The FBE30-1 is a 1-hole braid connector, so each terminal pad takes a single bolt. If your equipment pad is drilled for a two-hole NEMA pattern, or the spec calls for two-hole terminations to prevent rotation, you need a 2-hole braid instead of this one.
4) What conductor material is the FBE30-1 braid, and will it hold up outdoors or in a damp vault?
Tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what makes braid like this acceptable in damp and corrosive locations, and it also reduces galvanic issues where the braid lands on aluminum or galvanized steel. Clean the mating surface and use the correct hardware for the pad material.
5) Does the FBE30-1 come with the bolts, nuts and washers to land it?
No. It is sold as an each, meaning one braid jumper, so mounting bolts, nuts, flat and Belleville washers, and any anti-oxidant compound are separate line items on your order.
6) Is the 30 inch length the overall braid or can I cut it shorter?
The FBE30-1 is furnished at 30 inches with the terminal pads already attached at both ends, so it is not a field-cut item. Pick the catalog length that gives enough slack for the movement at the joint; shortening a factory-terminated braid means losing one of the pads.
7) Is this Blackburn braid jumper made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the FBE30-1 is the United States, which is the data a public-works or federally funded project will want on the submittal.
8) What is the exact part number to order this 168 kcmil 30 inch braid?
Blackburn FBE30-1. The FBE prefix is the extra flexible braid family, 30 is the length in inches, and the -1 is the single-hole termination.
