How to store a cable reel when not in use?

     Cable reelHow to solve the problem of poor contact in mobile cable reels? Whether for industrial construction power or household electricity, it is common to encounter issues like poor contact during use. So, when such problems arise, how can we effectively and safely resolve them?

1. Cables should be stored in a centralized and classified manner, and should be marked with model, voltage, specifications, and length. There should be passages between cable reels. The foundation should be solid, and when conditions are limited, pads should be added under the reels, and the storage area should not accumulate water.

2. When storing cable terminal porcelain sleeves, measures should be taken to prevent mechanical damage.

3. The moisture-proof packaging of insulation materials for cable accessories should be well sealed and stored according to material properties and storage requirements.

4. Fireproof materials such as fireproof coatings, wraps, and fillers should be stored according to material properties and storage requirements.

5. Cable trays should be stored in a classified manner and should not be deformed due to stress.

Power cables are different from others; a little carelessness can pose certain dangers. Mobile cable reels provide a good solution: the degree of poor contact in cables varies, and different solutions should be applied based on the severity of the issue.

1. For minor faults, local solutions can be applied. In this case, methods such as breakdown points, holes, and sinkholes are mainly used. Use a knife to trim the defects and cut at a 45-degree angle to create a slope with uniform-sized plastic blocks. Place these plastic blocks over the repair area, secure them with pliers or a screwdriver, and then continuously weld them with a hot air welding gun, pressing and compacting with copper sheets.

2. For larger repair areas, use a knife to cut along the circumference of the plastic layer at a 45-degree angle on both sides of the broken glue, and remove a clean plastic tube that matches the color, thickness, length, and outer diameter of the broken glue. Cut a 45-degree angle opening on one side of the tube to fit over the end glue, and tie it tightly with fine copper wire at equal distances. Then, use the same plastic strip to weld it under the action of the hot air welding gun, and press and compact it with copper sheets. If it passes the spark machine test without breakdown, it is considered qualified.

3. When there is a large area of quality defects at one end of the cable sheath of the mobile cable reel, the repair method for large joints during production can be used. After peeling off the defective end of the sheath, select a larger mold on the extruder, and first extrude and package the peeled end of the sheath according to the process. Gradually increase the pulling speed at the large joint to thin the sheath at the interface and cover it on the original sheath formed by cutting to create a slope, then shape it after leaving the machine.
