GTE-S-3×4-25 Grounding Reel
What is a grounding cable reel?
A grounding reel is a device used to provide a secure connection between electrical equipment and grounding points. It consists of a reel that houses a length of grounding cable, which can be extended or retracted as needed. The cable is typically made of highly conductive material such as copper or aluminum to ensure efficient grounding.
Euroreels retractable grounding cable reels are commonly used in industrial settings where electrical equipment is frequently moved or relocated. They are particularly useful in environments where there is a high risk of electrical shocks or fires, such as construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and power plants.
The main purpose of a grounding cable reel is to establish a low-resistance path to ground for electrical equipment. This helps prevent the build-up of static electricity, reduces the risk of electrical faults, and protects both equipment and personnel from potential electrical hazards.

Types of grounding cable reels available
Euroreels grounding cable reels (GCR) come in various types and configurations to suit different applications and work environments. Here are some of the most common types of grounding cable reels available:
- Portable GCR: These reels are designed for easy transport and are typically used in temporary work areas or construction sites. They are lightweight and compact, allowing for quick deployment and storage. Portable grounding cable reels often have built-in handles or grips for easy carrying and handling.
- Fixed or wall-mounted GCR: These reels are permanently installed in a specific location, such as a workshop or manufacturing facility. They are mounted on walls or other fixed structures, providing a reliable and convenient grounding solution. Fixed grounding cable reels are often used in areas where equipment is regularly connected to grounding points.
- Heavy-duty GCR: These reels are designed to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial use. They are made from durable materials such as stainless steel or reinforced plastic and are resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. Heavy-duty grounding cable reels are typically used in demanding environments such as power plants, refineries, and offshore drilling platforms.
- Retractable GCR: These reels feature a retractable cable mechanism that allows for easy extension and retraction of the grounding cable. The cable is wound onto a drum or spool and can be extended to the desired length and locked in place. Retractable grounding cable reels are particularly useful in large work areas or when equipment needs to be moved frequently.
- Static discharge GCR: These reels are specifically designed for grounding static electricity. They are commonly used in environments where static electricity buildup is a concern, such as fueling stations, chemical plants, and grain silos. Static discharge grounding cable reels provide a safe and efficient way to discharge static electricity and prevent sparks or explosions.
The type of reel you choose will depend on factors such as the nature of your work environment, the specific application, and the level of durability and portability required. It is important to consider these factors carefully to ensure that you select the most suitable grounding cable reel for your needs.
