Blackburn FBS1H035A1-60 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the braid on the Blackburn FBS1H035A1-60?
Cable length is 60 inches, which is a long run for a braid connector and gives plenty of slack for equipment that racks in and out or for spanning between separated bus sections. If your gap is shorter, order a shorter length in the FBS family rather than coiling the excess.
2) Does this Blackburn braid connector meet switchgear connector standards?
The FBS1H035A1-60 is built to CEI60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the standards applied to high-voltage switch and disconnect connectors. That's the pair of references a utility or substation spec normally calls out for flexible braid terminal connections.
3) How many bolt holes does each end of this flexible connector have?
One. It's a 1-hole configuration, so each terminal pad takes a single bolt into your pad or bar. If your equipment pad is drilled 2-hole NEMA spacing, a 1-hole braid will not land on both holes and you want the 2-hole version of the FBS braid instead.
4) What is the Blackburn FBS1H035A1-60 flexible connector actually used for?
It's a flexible braid connector with a single bolt hole at the terminal pad, used to carry current between two rigid points that move relative to each other, such as a switch or disconnect terminal to a bus or ground bar. The conductor is a flat tin-plated copper braid, so it flexes with thermal movement and vibration instead of stressing the terminal.
5) Is the braid plated, and does that matter for aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets you bolt copper braid to an aluminum pad with far less galvanic corrosion risk than bare copper, and it holds up better in humid or outdoor switchyard conditions.
6) Should I use a flexible braid connector or a solid bus link?
Use the braid wherever the two connection points move: expansion joints, equipment on vibration isolators, drawout gear, or transformer terminals that shift with thermal cycling. A rigid link is simpler and cheaper for two fixed points that stay put, but it transfers that movement straight into the terminal. The FBS1H035A1-60 is the flexible flat-braid option, 60 inches long with one bolt hole per pad.
7) What is the exact part number to order for the 60 inch Blackburn standard flexible connector?
Order Blackburn FBS1H035A1-60. The FBS prefix is the flexible braid series, 1H is the single-hole pad, and the -60 is the 60 inch braid length.
8) Is the Blackburn FBS1H035A1-60 sold individually or in pairs?
Sold each, so a job needing a connector on both poles or both ends of a bus break takes multiple pieces. It is made in the United States.
