REELCRAFT G 3050 N Spring Retractable Grounding Reel, Cable Length 50 Feet

Reelcraft G3050 N reel grounds equipment in hazardous atmospheres, dissipating static buildup to reduce sparking and potential explosions. It ensures worker safety by preventing electrostatic discharge accidents. In addition, this grounding reel facilitates easy and convenient grounding of equipment. This Reelcraft reel minimises cable clutter and tripping hazards in the workspace. It is useful in manufacturing facilities, chemical processing plants, refineries and electronics assembly lines.

Working Mechanism:

• First, hold the shaft securely with a wrench and remove two screws from the hub.
• Then, turn the shaft clockwise or anticlockwise to add or remove tension (one complete turn at a time).
• Once the desired tension is achieved, replace the two screws.

Features:

• Reelcraft G3050 N reel is made of carbon steel for durability in hazardous atmospheres.
• It has a compact design and is perfect where little space is available for installation.
• This grounding reel is powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance.
• The cables are made of steel and covered with nylon coating for longer service life.
• Reelcraft G3050 N reel incorporates an easily adjustable spring tension system for effortless cable movement.

Compatible Accessories:

• Reelcraft S600413-2 Spring Steel: This replacement spring can replace the existing worn-out or broken spring.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to use Reelcraft G3050 N reel's ratchet lock?

A. Engage the ratchet lock by pulling the cable out to the desired position and slowly retracting until the lock engages. To release the lock, quickly pull the cable out a short distance and allow it to retract. The locking feature may be turned off by turning the knob on the side of the reel.

Q. How can I maintain Reelcraft G3050 N reel?

A.

• Clean the reel and hose with a mild detergent / water solution.
• Lubricate the swivel and moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant.
• Store the reel in a cool & dry environment.
• Replace any damaged / worn components promptly.

Q. What are some best practices for using spring retractable grounding reels?

A.

• Always ensure that the grounding reel is securely mounted in a location easily accessible to the equipment needing grounding.
• Regularly inspect the cable for wear, damage or fraying, and replace it if necessary to maintain effectiveness.
• Verify that the grounding point or earth connection is in good condition and provides a reliable path to dissipate static electricity.

Q. What are some common mistakes to avoid when using spring retractable grounding reels?

A.

• Avoid overextending the cable beyond its recommended length, as this can strain the reel mechanism and lead to premature wear or failure.
• Do not use damaged or compromised cables, as they may not provide adequate grounding protection and could pose safety risks.
• Ensure that the grounding point or earth connection is free from paint, rust or other contaminants that could inhibit conductivity.

Q. Why is grounding important in industrial settings?

A. Grounding prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD) and minimises the risk of static electricity buildup, which can lead to electrical hazards, equipment damage and even fires or explosions in hazardous environments.
