Blackburn FBE1H035A1-13-5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does this Blackburn flexible braid meet any switchgear standards?
Yes. The FBE1H035A1-13-5 is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the standards that cover high-voltage switchgear and air disconnect switches. That's the reference to quote when a utility or substation spec asks what the flexible connector conforms to.
2) How many holes are in each end of the FBE1H035A1-13-5 braid connector, and can I use it on a two-hole NEMA pad?
It's a one-hole connector, with a single 9/16 inch bolt hole in the pad. It will not land on a two-hole NEMA pad on its own hole pattern. If the equipment terminal is drilled two-hole on standard centers, you need a two-hole braid instead of this one.
3) What is the Blackburn FBE1H035A1-13-5 flexible braid connector used for?
It's a flat, extra-flexible tin-plated copper braid jumper with a one-hole terminal pad on each end. Braid connectors like this carry current between two rigid points that move relative to each other, or across a joint that needs vibration isolation, such as switchgear, disconnect blades, bus connections and transformer terminations. The flat flexible braid construction lets the connection flex without stressing the bolted pads.
4) Will the tin plating on this Blackburn braid work with aluminum bus bar?
The braid is tin-plated copper, and tin plating is what makes a copper conductor acceptable against aluminum hardware, since it keeps bare copper from contacting aluminum directly. Use an appropriate joint compound and the bolt torque your bus or equipment manufacturer specifies.
5) Should I use a flexible braid or a solid bus link between two bolted terminals?
Use flexible braid where the two terminals move, vibrate, or shift with thermal expansion, and where a rigid link would transmit that stress into the joint or the equipment bushing. A solid bar is fine for a fixed, well-aligned connection. This one is an extra-flexible flat braid, so it also lets you take up small misalignment between pads that a rigid link would fight.
6) Is the Blackburn FBE1H035A1-13-5 sold individually or in a pack?
It's sold each, one braid per unit. Order the quantity of jumpers your job needs; there's no multi-pack bundling on it.
