Eaton Specification Sheet - W16L A04050
Feature: Weathertight steel enclosure protects internal conductors from moisture, dust, and incidental exposure. Business Impact: Reduces corrosion-related failures and maintenance needs, extending reel life in outdoor and washdown environments. Application: Outdoor plants, shipyards, and exposed factory floors benefit from reliable reeling performance without frequent component replacement. Feature: 50 ft cable length with three conductors using #10 AWG conductors. Business Impact: Supports common lifting tasks with sufficient reach while maintaining current-carrying capability and performance; reduces the need for multiple reels and simplifies inventory. Application: Overhead lifting and temporary power runs in manufacturing lines and maintenance bays. Feature: 600 Vac voltage rating with steel construction. Business Impact: Ensures safe power delivery for heavy machinery and automation controls, helping meet electrical code requirements and minimizing arc-flash risk. Application: Lifts, hoists, and flexible power feeds in industrial facilities. Feature: NEMA 3 and 3R ratings, NEC/CEC compliance, and ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability. Business Impact: Facilitates compliant installation across a wide range of industrial environments while easing procurement and commissioning. Application: Indoor and outdoor installations where weather exposure is possible, such as loading docks and exterior bays. Feature: Compact footprint (15.75 in length, 18.25 in height, 7.94 in width) and lightweight steel design. Business Impact: Simplifies handling, installation, and retrofits in constrained spaces; reduces labor time during mounting and service. Application: Limited-access plant corners and retrofits in aging facilities with space constraints. Industry insight: In real-world applications, choosing a W series reel with weathertight features and UL/NEC/CEC compliance aligns with both maintenance productivity and regulatory expectations, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership for cable management in automated facilities.

FAQs
Installations should follow the NEC/CEC guidelines and the manufacturer’s specification sheet. Mount the reel securely to a rigid support, connect the three conductors to compatible power and control circuits rated for 600 Vac, and verify 50 ft of #10 AWG cable is properly routed through the wind-up and guide paths. Use proper strain relief, weatherproof seals, and confirm area classification permits ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
The reel uses #10 AWG conductors rated for 600 Vac and a steel, weathertight enclosure. Its NEC/CEC-compliant design and NEMA 3/3R protection ensure safe operation in non-hazardous environments, reducing electrical fault risk and improving uptime for lifting operations in typical manufacturing or maintenance areas.
Yes. The weathertight construction plus NEMA 3/3R ratings provide protection against moisture and dust, making it suitable for outdoor installations, loading docks, and protected exterior spaces where exposure to the elements is possible.
Ensure mounting is rated for the load, use UL-listed components, follow cable routing guidelines to avoid sharp bends, and confirm that the area is classified as Ordinary/Non-Hazardous. Verify that the 50 ft of #10 AWG cable is properly terminated and secured to prevent wear, arcing, or cable snagging during operation.
By consolidating power-cable management into a single, weather-resistant reel, downtime due to cable wear or replacements is reduced, maintenance labor is streamlined, and regulatory compliance is maintained. The 50 ft length and three-conductor design support efficient lifts, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and improved system uptime.
