Power Cable Reels
This online engineering PDH course provides a practical overview of power cable reel design, handling, storage, and transportation.
This course explores the full lifecycle of how power cable reels are selected, used, and managed from understanding reel materials and structural design parameters, to the standards that govern reel construction, markings, and classifications. It examines safe handling practices, including proper lifting, rolling, and transporting techniques, as well as storage and long‑term maintenance requirements that help protect both the cable and the reel. Additionally, this course covers reel coverings, protection levels, and packaging methods, providing a complete view of how reels support cable integrity throughout manufacturing, distribution, and installation environments.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers, installers, warehouse personnel, as well as other technical professionals interested in learning about the proper use, management, and preservation of power cable reels.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the different types of power cable reels, their materials, classifications, and typical use
