Blackburn LTL400D2356 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn LTL400D2356 transformer link used for?
It's a large flexible braid link connector used to bridge transformer terminals and heavy bus connections where some movement, vibration, or thermal expansion has to be absorbed. The conductor is flat, flexible, tin-plated copper braid rather than solid bar, so it takes misalignment between two rigid pads that a solid link would fight. It ships as a single piece.
2) How many bolt holes does this Blackburn transformer link have?
It's a 6-hole large transformer link connector, so each end lands on a multi-hole terminal pad pattern rather than a single stud. Confirm your transformer pad drilling matches a 6-hole pattern before ordering; a 2-hole or 4-hole pad needs a different link.
3) Does the Blackburn LTL400D2356 meet IEEE/ANSI standards for substation use?
It's built to IEEE / ANSI C37 and 34. That's the reference a utility or substation spec will usually call out for connectors of this class, so it can be cited on a submittal. It's also made in the United States, which matters where domestic-content procurement rules apply.
4) Can I use a solid copper bar instead of a flexible braid link on a transformer?
Not where the two connection points move relative to each other. Transformer terminals shift with thermal cycling and vibration, and a rigid bar transfers that stress straight into the bushing. The LTL400D2356 uses flexible flat braid specifically to absorb that movement. Use a solid bar only where both pads are fixed to the same rigid structure and alignment is exact.
5) Why tin-plated copper instead of bare copper on a transformer link?
The tin plating on the copper braid slows oxidation at the bolted interface, which is where resistance and heat build up on a high-current joint. It also makes the link a cleaner match against aluminium or tin-plated pads. The braid itself is flexible copper, so conductivity is not traded away for the plating.
6) What part number do I order for this Blackburn transformer link?
Order by manufacturer part number LTL400D2356 from Blackburn. There's one configuration, the 356 mm 6-hole flexible braid link, and it's sold individually, so quantity on the order equals the number of links you need.
