Abstract

A cable holder for the long-term storage and the rapid transport of high-voltage cables, is storable for long periods with little outlay. The cable holder includes a rotatable cable reel which has a winding cylinder and side limits which are connected for conjoint rotation with the winding cylinder and protrude over the circumference of the winding cylinder. A holding frame is provided for rotatably mounting the cable reel. A high-voltage cable is wound onto the cable reel. The winding cylinder has a diameter of over 1300 mm.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cable holder for the long-term storage and the rapid transportation of high-voltage cables, the cable holder comprising:
a rotatable cable reel including a winding cylinder and side limits connected for conjoint rotation with said winding cylinder, said winding cylinder having a circumference, said side limits protruding beyond said circumference of said winding cylinder, and said winding cylinder having a diameter exceeding 1300 mm;
a holding frame rotatably mounting said cable reel; and
a high-voltage cable rated for operating voltages of between 70 kV and 160 kV, said high-voltage cable wound onto said cable reel, said high-voltage cable having two ends, a cable termination with a solid insulator at one of said ends and a plug-in part of a high-voltage plug connection at the other of said ends, said cable termination having a free end and an outdoor terminal at said free end, and said solid insulator having an outside with ribs.

2. The cable holder according to claim 1 , wherein said high-voltage cable is rated for operating voltages of between 100 kV and 155 kV.

3. The cable holder according to claim 1 , which further comprises a drive device for rotating said cable reel in two directions.

4. The cable holder according to claim 3 , wherein said drive device is a pneumatic drive device.

5. The cable holder according to claim 1 , which further comprises a termination holder for holding said cable termination in a horizontal position.

6. The cable holder according to claim 1 , wherein said winding cylinder has a circular-cylindrical shape.

7. The cable holder according to claim 1 , wherein the cable holder has a width of less than 2352 mm and a height of less than 2690 mm.

8. The cable holder according to claim 1 , wherein said holding frame has apertures for insertion of a prong of a forklift truck.
