Blackburn SWC215D2915 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn SWC215D2915 flexible braid connector used for?
It's a flexible braid switchgear/transformer link, rated 2150A, used to make a flexible current-carrying connection between bus, switchgear, and transformer terminal pads. The braid absorbs thermal expansion, vibration, and slight misalignment that a rigid bus bar cannot. Conductor is tin-plated copper in a flat, flexible form, and it's built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34.
2) How many bolt holes are on each end of the SWC215D2915 link, and does the pattern matter?
It's a 4-hole to 2-hole link: one end lands on a 4-hole pad, the opposite end on a 2-hole vertical pad. That means it is not symmetrical, so you need to confirm which end mates to your transformer pad and which to the switchgear side before you order. If both of your pads are the same drilling, a 4-hole to 4-hole or 2-hole to 2-hole version is the part you want instead.
3) Why tin-plated copper instead of bare copper on a switchgear flex link?
The tin plating on the copper braid resists oxidation at the bolted interface, which keeps contact resistance stable over time, and it's the usual choice when mating to aluminum or tin-plated pads to limit dissimilar-metal corrosion. Bare copper against an aluminum pad is the connection that gives trouble.
4) Does a flexible braid link replace a rigid bus bar connection?
For the short run between a transformer and switchgear, yes, and that is what it's for. A rigid bar transmits thermal growth and vibration straight into the bushings; the flat flexible braid takes that movement instead. Where the connection is fixed, aligned, and mechanically supported, a rigid bar is the simpler choice. Use the braid at transitions and at transformer terminations.
5) Is the Blackburn SWC215D2915 made in the USA, and does it meet a recognized standard?
Manufactured in the United States and built to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering test code for high-voltage air switches. That combination is what most utility and institutional specs ask for on switchgear connection hardware, and the country of origin covers Buy American style procurement language.
6) What is the exact manufacturer part number for the 2150A 915 mm Blackburn braid link?
Blackburn SWC215D2915. The code reads out as a switchgear transformer link, 2150 amp, 2-hole vertical to 4-hole, 915 mm. Order by that full number, since the hole pattern and length are both encoded in it and the adjacent catalog numbers differ only in those two details.
7) Is the Blackburn SWC215D2915 sold individually or in pairs?
Sold each. A three-phase termination therefore needs three links ordered, plus a fourth if you are also linking a neutral.
