Extension reels are bobbins that provide the function of winding wires and cables for industrial and mining enterprises, and are widely used in many industries such as oilfield mines, building construction, machinery manufacturing units, scientific research units, ports and terminals, shopping malls, hotels, road and bridge construction. And as industrial needs become more and more diversified, mobile extension reels have become a new favourite in the extension reel market. Not only does it improve the production environment, but also increases production efficiency.

So here's how to import cost effective extension reels to the Saudi market:

1. What are the criteria for selecting extension reels?

2. Special characteristics of importing extension reels to the Saudi market.

3. How to procure safety secured extension reels?

I. What are the basic criteria for choosing extension reels?

1. First, let's look at the classification of extension reels.

Extension reels of different uses have different requirements of the specifications. Mobile extension reels are available in portable, caster, rainproof, explosion-proof and other series. For example, in high temperature places, it needs high insulation, high temperature resistant extension reels; in low security environment, it needs to be explosion-proof. Under some workplaces, extension reels of tripod, cart, wheelbarrow type and other styles, may also be demanded. To facilitate movement and portability, small reels should be equipped with a holder and carrying handle, and larger ones with castors.

2. Basic criteria:

Extension reels are commonly used in industrial building sites and are greatly affected by external factors such as the environment. Thus, the ability to resist external forces (and material of extension reels) is an important criterion. Extension reels should be equipped with special fixing cards, locking functions, all-steel guards and other user-friendly safety devices to facilitate construction operations, and at the same time to kill safety hazards in the cradle.

II. Special characteristics of importing extension reels to the Saudi market

If you are importing extension reels to the Saudi market, do you know what tests or certificates you need to pass? According to Saudi Arabia's requirements, the standards SASO 2815 and SASO 2203 can be referred to.

SASO 2815 and SASO 2203 are the standards that must be passed for exporting plugs and extension reels to Saudi Arabia. The tests include dimensional checks, protection against electric shock, earthing measures, terminals and terminations, construction of fixed sockets, construction of plugs and mobile sockets, etc.

1. Power rating of extension reels

The rated power of the reels is different in different states. The maximum power of the reel when wound up is 1000 W, and when stretched out, it can reach 3000 W. In the process of use, we also need to pay attention to this power issue. When connecting high power appliances, we must release all the cables before use, to prevent excessive power from the impact on the reels and the safety of use.

2. Wiring specification: HO5VV-F 3G2.5mm (Max 50m, Min 5m)

The reel has several holes and the cable can be used up to a maximum of 50m and a minimum of 5m, making it easy to use for long distances. The extension reel is larger and more functional than a regular extension socket, but there is little difference in the way it can be used.

III. How to purchase extension reels with safety guarantee?

The working power of extension reels is higher. Built-in earth leakage protectors and thermostats can significantly improve the safety of extension reels in use. Next we look at the introduction of earth leakage protectors and thermostats.

1. Earth leakage protector

Earth leakage protector is mainly used for protection from the equipment leakage fault and the fatal risk of personal electric shock, with overload and short circuit protection function. It can be used to protect overload and short circuit of the line or motor, but also in normal circumstances as the line of infrequent conversion to start with.

Leakage protection leakage action current: 30mA, leakage action time: <0.1s

2. Thermostat

The extension socket needs overload protection to prevent excessive current, and the reel also needs a thermostat to prevent damage caused by high internal temperatures.

When the temperature inside the reel reaches 56+5°C, the thermostat button will automatically pop up and cut off the power supply, preventing fires. Especially in the hot summer months, after high temperatures and rain "washing",

substandard cables are extremely susceptible to spontaneous combustion and electrical leakage, which is extremely dangerous.

Increased temperatures can be caused by excessive loads or other reasons. Before resuming use, you need to check and confirm that the factors causing the temperature rise have been eliminated and press the manual reset button on the overheat protector when the reel is back to normal temperature, and the indicator light comes on.

We believe that through the above introduction, you must have a better understanding of how to purchase qualified extension reels. If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to contact us or visit our website: www.hbsocket.com
