American Reels Cable Reels used in the Load Bank industry have been essential components for managing and deploying electrical cables, which provide power to and from load banks during testing and commissioning of electrical systems. Load banks are devices that generate electrical loads to test power sources such as generators, UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) systems, and other electrical power sources. They simulate real electrical loads, enabling the testing and validation of power systems to ensure they operate reliably under their specified load conditions.
American Reels specializes in providing a wide range of cable reels that cater to the diverse needs of the Load Bank industry. From manual hand-cranked reels, to motorized automatic reels designed for the most demanding tasks, American Reels ensures that every customer finds exactly what they need for their specific applications. The company’s optional portable reel, designed for heavy-duty electrical cables, underscore the commitment to mobility and efficiency, making them a favorite among technicians who value convenience without compromising on capacity or durability.
Here are some key aspects of cable reels in the Load Bank industry:
- Purpose and Function: American Reels Cable Reels are designed to store, protect, and manage large lengths of electrical cables that connect load banks to the power source being tested. They facilitate the easy deployment and retraction of cables, ensuring a tidy and safe work environment.
- Types of Cables: The cables used with load banks are typically heavy-duty, high-capacity electrical cables capable of carrying the significant current required for load testing. They must be resistant to heat, abrasion, and other environmental factors.
- Construction and Design: Cable reels can be manual or motorized, with the latter being preferred for handling very long or heavy cables.
- Portability and Size: The portability of cable reels is important, as testing locations can vary widely. Compact, lightweight designs are preferred for ease of transportation and setup. However, the size and weight of a reel can increase significantly based on the length and gauge of the cable it needs to accommodate.
