Blackburn FBE1H050A1-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does this Blackburn braid connector meet switchgear standards for a spec job?
Yes. The FBE1H050A1-12 is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, which is the high voltage air switch standard, so it answers the usual submittal question on substation and switchgear work. It is manufactured in the United States, which also covers domestic-content questions on public work.
2) How long is this Blackburn XFLEX braid jumper, and is it sold singly?
It is a 12 inch braid, supplied as one piece per order (selling unit is each), not in pairs or multipacks. Order one per connection you need to bridge.
3) Why use a flexible braid connector instead of a solid copper bus link or a cable jumper?
A flat flexible braid is what you use where the two connection points move relative to each other, from thermal expansion, switch operation, or vibration. Solid bus bar transmits that movement into the terminal and eventually cracks it. Compared with a round stranded cable jumper, the flat conductor shape gives a wider, thinner cross section that flexes in one plane and bolts flat against a pad. The FBE1H050A1-12 is a flexible, flat braid built for exactly that duty.
4) Is the braid tinned, and can I bolt it directly to aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what makes it suitable for outdoor and damp switchgear locations without the copper oxidizing at the bolted joint, and it is the normal way copper is prepared for contact with aluminum hardware. Use the joint compound and bolting torque your bus manufacturer calls for.
5) What are the braid's pad and width dimensions on the FBE1H050A1-12?
The published geometry is 9/16 hole with 1/4 x 1.5 and an overall 12 inch length. Map those to your opening before drilling: the single 9/16 hole sets the bolt, and the 1/4 x 1.5 figures describe the braid section, so check them against the clear width of the terminal pad you are landing on.
6) What part number do I give my distributor for this XFLEX braid?
Order Blackburn FBE1H050A1-12. That single manufacturer part number covers the 1-hole, 9/16 inch hole, 12 inch flexible braid configuration, and it is the only configuration this model number describes, so there are no length or hole-size options to specify with it.
