INSTRUCTION MANUAL

3.2.15.6A S-BT-ER HL AND S-BT-EF HL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SYSTEMS

3.2.15.6.1A Product description

S-BT-ER HL stainless steel screw- in threaded studs and S-BT-EF HL carbon steel screw-in threaded studs are designed for electrical connections under permanent current, short circuit current, and lightning current conditions. Packaged with two stainless steel nuts and one stainless steel lock washer, the S-BT-ER HL can be used for electrical grounding such as bonding and lightning protection under corrosive environments.

The S-BT-EF HL is similarly packaged with two carbon steel nuts and one carbon steel lock washer to be used in non-corrosive environments. High current versions of the S-BT-ER HL and S-BT-EF HL are also available (S-BT-ER HC HL and S-BT-EF HC HL), which are packaged with one nut, one lock washer, and one copper alloy conductivity disc. Additionally, standoff adapters are available for combination with the S-BT-ER W10/15 SN 6. The Hilti standoff adapter W10-MR is stainless steel and can be used for standard currents, while the W10-HC 4/0 standoff adapter is a copper alloy, for high current connections.

Product Features and benefits

• No propellants required.
• No through penetration of steel base materials 1/4″ and thicker.
• Little to no rework of coated steel required for non-through hole applications with base material thickness larger than 1/4”.
• Fastening options available for both stainless and carbon steel materials.
• Easier removal — S-BT fasteners are removable.

3.2.15.6.3A Technical data

Application examples

Functional and protective bonding of pipes (outer diameter of installed surface ≥ 5.9”).
Only for Type A cable connections

Protective bonding circuit – double point connection

Functional bonding and terminal connection in a circuit

For permanent current (leakage current) due to static charge built up in pipes or when closing an electrical circuit.

Recommended maximum cross section of connected cables according to IEC 60947-7-2 and IEC 60947-7-1
Fastening of thicker cable is acceptable, if the maximum allowable permanent current is not exceeded and the provisions on cable lug thickness are observed.

Protective bonding circuit

For discharging short circuit current while protecting electrical equipment or earth / ground cable trays and ladders.

Recommended maximum cross section of connected cables according to IEC 60947-7-2 and IEC 60947-7-1 or UL 467, dependent upon standard used.
Fastening of thicker cable is acceptable, if the maximum allowable permanent current is not exceeded and the provisions on cable lug thickness are observed.

Lightning protection

For high temporary current due to lightning.

Application requirements

Base material thickness tII ≥ 6 mm

Thickness of base material corrosion protection layer ≤ 0.0315″ (0.8 mm). For thicker coatings, please contact Hilti.

For connections with High Current (HC) standoff adapter and connections with High Current (HC) conductivity disc, the High Current (HC) adapter or High Current (HC) con-ductivity disc must be in direct contact with non-coated base material. For coated materials, the coating must be removed with the coating removal drill bit.

Cable lug characteristics and connector types

Cable lug thickness tcl and inner hole diameter d2

S-BT HL Electrical Technical Supplement Guide

Torque recommendation

For single point connections with high current (HC) standoff adapter or high current (HC) conductivity disc, the, conductivity disc or standoff adapter W10-HC 4/0 must be in direct contact with an uncoated portion of the base material or the portion of the base material where coating has been removed.

These are abbreviated instructions, which may vary by application. Always review and follow the instruction accompanying the product.
