Blackburn EXA035A31220 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the Blackburn EXA035A31220 flexible braid connector?
The EXA035A31220 is a 48 inch (1220 mm) flexible braid connector. That length is the whole braid, so plan your run with enough slack for the movement or expansion the connection has to absorb rather than pulling it taut between pads.
2) Does the Blackburn EXA035A31220 meet a switchgear connector standard?
It is built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering flexible connectors used on high voltage air switches. That is the reference an electrical inspector or a utility spec writer will be looking for on a substation or switchyard submittal.
3) Is the EXA035A31220 a one-hole or two-hole braid connector?
It is a 1-hole extra flexible braid connector, so each terminal pad takes a single bolt. If your equipment pads are drilled NEMA two-hole, this is not the right terminal configuration and you want a 2-hole braid instead.
4) What is the Blackburn EXA035A31220 braid connector made of, and will it hold up outdoors or in a damp switchyard?
The conductor is tin-plated copper braid. The tin plating is what protects the copper strands from oxidizing at the surface, which is why this style is used on substation and switchgear connections rather than bare copper braid.
5) Why use a flexible braid connector instead of running solid bus or cable between two terminals?
A flat flexible braid absorbs vibration, thermal expansion and the movement of a switch blade or breaker without loading the terminal pads. Solid bus transmits that stress straight into the hardware. The EXA035A31220 is flat, extra flexible tin-plated copper braid built for exactly that duty, and the flat shape seats cleanly against a flat pad face.
6) Is the Blackburn EXA035A31220 sold individually or as a pair?
It sells each. Connections normally need one braid per phase, so a three phase switch or bus tie takes three pieces. Order the quantity to match your phase count.
