Blackburn FBE2H070A1-22 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBE2H070A1-22 flexible braid connector used for?
It is an extra flexible braid connector with two bolt holes at each pad, used to make a flexible current-carrying connection between rigid bus, switchgear, or grounding points where movement, thermal expansion, or vibration would stress a solid bar. The conductor is flat tin-plated copper braid, so it flexes without work-hardening a rigid connector. Sold each.
2) Does this Blackburn braid connector meet switchgear connector standards?
The FBE2H070A1-22 is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the standards a utility or switchgear spec normally calls out for high-voltage air switch and bus connectors. That is the reference to quote on a submittal.
3) Is the 2-hole pad on this braid connector the right pattern for my bus, or do I need a single-hole version?
Each pad on the FBE2H070A1-22 is drilled for two bolts. Two-hole pads are what most switchgear and bus pads are drilled for because they stop the connector from rotating under torque and give a more stable contact area. If your equipment pad has only one tapped hole, a two-hole terminal will not land correctly and you want a single-hole braid connector instead.
4) Is tin-plated copper braid better than a bare copper flexible connector for outdoor substation work?
The tin plating on this braid is there to slow oxidation at the contact surface and on the braid strands, which matters in outdoor and damp substation environments where bare copper builds a resistive oxide film. Electrically it is copper; the plating is a corrosion measure, and it also plays nicer against aluminum bus than bare copper does.
5) Why use a flexible braid jumper instead of a solid copper bus bar link?
Anywhere the two ends can move relative to each other, a solid bar transfers that movement into the bolted joint and eventually cracks the pad or loosens the bolts. Thermal growth on a long bus run, breaker or disconnect operation, and equipment vibration all do this. The flat flexible braid absorbs the motion while still carrying the current. If both ends are rigid and fixed, a bar or a rigid connector is the cheaper choice.
6) Is the Blackburn FBE2H070A1-22 made in the USA for Buy American projects?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a government, utility, or federally funded job needs on record for domestic-content review. The manufacturer part number to cite is FBE2H070A1-22.
7) Does the Blackburn flexible braid connector come with bolts and washers?
The FBE2H070A1-22 is the braid assembly with its two-hole terminal pads only. Mounting hardware is specified to the bus or equipment pad you are landing on, so plan on supplying bolts, Belleville washers, and nuts sized to your pad drilling as part of the job.
8) Do I get one braid connector or a pair when I order FBE2H070A1-22?
One. The selling unit is each, so a job that needs a jumper on all three phases takes a quantity of three.
