Blackburn FBE2H090A1-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Blackburn FBE2H090A1-10 flexible braid connector used for?
It's an extra-flexible flat braid jumper with a two-hole pad on each end, used to bond or connect between two points that move or need isolation from vibration, such as switchgear, disconnect blades, transformer and bus connections. The conductor is tin-plated copper braid, so it flexes repeatedly without the work-hardening you get from solid bar, and it is built to CEI60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994.
2) What bolt hole size and pad dimensions does the FBE2H090A1-10 braid have?
The pads are two-hole with 9/16 inch holes, and the braid is designated 11/32 x 1.5 x 10 inches. That 9/16 hole clears 1/2 inch hardware, so confirm your switchgear or bus pad drilling matches before you order.
3) Will a tin-plated copper braid connector work on aluminum bus or in a damp electrical room?
Tin plating over the copper braid is what makes it suitable for contact with aluminum as well as copper pads, and it slows oxidation in humid or outdoor-rated enclosures. Use the appropriate joint compound and torque the two-hole pad to the equipment maker's value.
4) Should I use a flexible braid jumper or a rigid bus bar between switchgear connections?
Braid is the choice wherever the two ends move relative to each other: breaker racking, expansion in a long bus run, seismic movement, or equipment that vibrates. Rigid bar is fine for fixed, aligned connections and carries a cleaner mechanical load path. The FBE2H090A1-10 is the flexible flat-braid option, two-hole at each end, so it bolts straight to a drilled pad rather than needing a lug crimp.
5) What standards does the Blackburn XFLEX braid connector meet for switchgear specs?
It is built to CEI60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the high-voltage switchgear and air disconnect switch standards. That's the reference to quote when a drawing calls for a braid shunt on switchgear or disconnect equipment.
6) Is the FBE2H090A1-10 sold individually or in packs, and where is it made?
Sold each, one braid per unit, so order a piece per connection point. It's manufactured in the United States, which matters if you're buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government or utility project.
