HOWTO ORDER STEP6
Your application dictates the
reel series (Step1) and spoolingrequired(Step2).The cable selection (Step3) coupled with yourchosen
reel series and spooling will determine the
reel model
most appropriate for your requirements (Step4).To insure max-imum performance and reliability, Gleason highly recommends
that the electrical cable be ordered from Gleason along with the
cable reel.As an added benefit, when you order cable from
Gleason, the price includes installation on the
reel. When placing your order, be sure to include the following information:1)Reel Model Number (Step4)2)Active Cable Length (Step3)3)CableAWG Size and Number of Conductors (Step3)4)OptionalAccessories (e.g., Rotary Limit Switch, etc.) (Step1)5)If cable is ordered, be sure to include Connection Requirements(Step5).Total Cable Required =ActiveCable Length plus Connection Requirements.6)Fully specify if SpecialApplication(Step8) IMPORTANT: Recheck your
reel model number to insure itreflects your application needs. Note: Since there is no 195 ft.listing, the 200 ft. category is the nearest
EXAMPLE I
EXAMPLE II larger amperage or 13.8 amps.Note this occurs at 3/4 HPand the recommended wire gauge is
AWG No. 14.Thus, you know you’ll need a 20 conductor #14
cable.You conclude you can center feed the application, thustwo-way payout can be utilized.This reduces by one-half the
cable needed for one-way payout. In addition, you can use a
smaller, less expensive reelThe travel length (referring to thediagram for two-way payout on page6) is 390 ft., with an activecable length of 195 ft.Assuming you selected SHO Series
RandomWrap Reel, refer to the capacity chart on page10.Locate the 20 conductor #14 cable in the left columns and trace
horizontally to the 200 ft. column. larger figure and shouldbe used rather than a lesser figure.At the intersection of these
coordinates, you will find that the proper SHO Series Random
Wrap
reel is SHO803-203-34454-AE-4.This is the model number
to use when ordering, so double-check its accuracy. Assume you have three motors that will operate at 460V–3 phase
totaling 40 HP.Your total travel length is 250 ft. Refer to the chart
onpage7 and locate 40 HPin the horizontal row at the top ofthe chart. Next move down the left column to find 3 phase 460V.
Note the draw will be 52 amps and the recommended wire size
isAWG No. 6.Assume that you are unable to to get power to the
center of travel so you must use one-way payout.Thus, the
active cable length is equal to the travel length. Now refer to the
Capacity Charts for SHO Random Wrap Reels on pages12-13and look up conductor #6, type “G” cable. Locate the 250 ft. col-
umn and you’ll find the appropriate
reel is SHO Series model
SHO1003-47-32454-AC-3. If you choose the SHO Series
MonospiralWrap, refer to the chart on pages10-11. In that case,the model number would be SHO804-47-26MC72-AE-3.This is
the number you use to order so re-check it for accuracy.To order
cable, you’ll need cable equal to the active cable length plus
connection requirements as determined from the chart on page8.When you order cable from Gleason, it includes installation on
the
reel. In another application, you must get 20 control conductors to amoving machine that has a travel length of 390 ft.You know you
have one circuit requiring 12 amps at 115 volts and that this is the
maximum ampacity for all circuits. Using the motor HPchart on
page7 for reference, you can use the single phase column at 115volts and move horizontally to 12 amps. Since there is no 12-amp
designation, use the nearest
