e-spool® shore power - the slip ring-free cable guidance system

No slip ring ... low-maintenance ... inspection-friendly

The shore power e-spool® is a motorised cable reel for winding 1-4 cables that are suitable for use in high-voltage or low- voltage shore power connections.  The rotary movement of the e-spool is achieved with a twisterchain module instead of using a slip ring to allow a continuous cable run throughout the system. This module will accommodate up to 10 turns of the cable reel while allowing the single-core cables (power, control, fibre optic) to run uninterrupted from the cabinet to a certified junction box inside the e-spool.
The system is preferably installed in a container to withstand demanding weather conditions and vibrations.
System:

Motorised cable reel with electric drive

With control panel or remote control

With tension and length monitoring

With twisterchain technology instead of a slip ring

Standard container version allowing cable to be extended 35m or 55m

Specific housing with 55m or more

Configurable with different cables, depending on the power and voltage category

According to ISO 80005-1/80005-3

Benefits:

Without slip ring

Less susceptible electrical components

Rotational motion through an e-chain

No extra rotary union for fibre optic cables necessary

Direct uninterrupted cable guide from the control cabinet to the connector

Resistant to seawater, cold, heat and vibrations

Low maintenance and easy to inspect
