Blackburn SWC215A1840 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the Blackburn SWC215A1840 flexible braid?
The SWC215A1840 braid is 840 mm long, which is the 33 inch length called out in the product name. That is the overall braid length, so plan your bus or switch gap around it rather than assuming hole-to-hole centers match.
2) What standard do Blackburn flexible braid connectors like the SWC215A1840 meet?
It is built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering high voltage air switches. That is the reference a utility or substation spec will usually call for on flexible braid shunt connections.
3) How many bolt holes does the Blackburn SWC215A1840 braid have on each pad?
It is a 4-hole standard flexible braid connector, so each terminal pad is drilled for a four-bolt pattern. Match that against the drilling on your switch blade or bus pad before ordering, since a 2-hole pad will not accept it.
4) Is the SWC215A1840 braid copper, and is it plated?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets it land on aluminum or copper pads without the galvanic problem bare copper creates at an aluminum connection.
5) Is this a flat braid or a round flexible cable?
Flat. The SWC215A1840 is a flexible flat-shape conductor, which is what gives a braid shunt its side-to-side and rotational give in a switch or expansion joint while keeping the pad faces parallel to the bus.
6) When would I use a flexible braid instead of a rigid bus link or a cable jumper?
Use a braid where the two connection points move relative to each other: switch blades that rotate, bus that expands and contracts with temperature, or equipment on separate supports. The SWC215A1840 is a flexible flat braid built to the air switch standard IEEE/ANSI C37.34 for exactly that duty. A rigid link is correct only where both pads are fixed and aligned.
7) Is the SWC215A1840 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. One SWC215A1840 braid per unit, so order one per connection point you are shunting.
8) Is the Blackburn SWC215A1840 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if your project carries a domestic-content or Buy America requirement on connectors.
