Appleton SD Series SD11 Static Discharge Grounding Reel

The Appleton SD Series SD11 static discharge grounding Reelite™ delivers a convenient, safe way to ground vehicles, portable machines, and equipment operating in hazardous atmospheres. This lightweight, compact, all-steel enclosed reel dispenses a 50-foot (15.2 meter) length of 3/32" galvanized steel aviation control cable, available with or without a nylon jacket, in single or Y-type configuration, terminating in a 100 Amp universal jaw type grounding clamp that dissipates static electrical buildup before it can spark. The unit is rated for (Unclassified) Locations under NEC and CEC requirements, giving electrical contractors a code-referenced option for static control on job sites and industrial facilities.

Key Features

  • Cable Length: 15.2 meter (50 foot) single or Y-type cable configuration for reaching vehicles, tanks, and portable equipment.
  • Durable Construction: Lightweight, compact, all-steel enclosed reel housing for rugged field and plant use.
  • Cable Type: 3/32" (2.38 mm) galvanized steel aviation control cable, offered with or without a nylon jacket.
  • Grounding Clamp: 100 Amp universal jaw type clamp for secure, reliable attachment to grounding points.
  • Electrical Continuity: Maximum Vdc resistance of 1 ohm per 15.2 meters (50 feet) of steel aviation control cable, ensuring dependable static dissipation.
  • Finish: Red epoxy powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and long service life.
  • Flexible Mounting: Mounts to a ceiling, wall, or base-down to a clean, unpainted conductive surface to maintain electrical continuity through the frame.

Appleton SD-11 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How far does the Appleton SD11 grounding reel cable reach?
The SD11 Reelite dispenses 50 feet (15.2 meters) of 3/32 inch (2.38 mm) galvanized steel aviation control cable. That covers a bonding run from a wall- or ceiling-mounted reel out to a tank truck, rail car, or portable machine at a transfer point without dragging a loose strap around.
2) Can the SD11 static discharge reel be mounted upside down or on a wall?
Mounting is flexible: ceiling, wall, or base-down. The one condition is the mounting surface. It has to be clean, unpainted, and conductive, because continuity to ground runs through the reel frame. Bolt it to painted steel or a non-conductive bracket and you lose the ground path even though the cable and clamp look fine.
3) What is the resistance of the SD11 grounding cable, and how do I verify it is still good?
Maximum Vdc resistance is 1 ohm per 50 feet (15.2 m) of the steel aviation control cable. Put a meter from the clamp jaw to the mounting surface: a reading at or under about an ohm tells you the cable, reel, and mount are still carrying continuity. A climbing reading usually means a corroded clamp jaw or a painted mounting pad rather than a bad cable.
4) Is the Appleton SD11 approved for Class I Division 1 hazardous locations?
The SD11 reel itself is rated for (Unclassified) Locations under NEC and CEC. Its job is grounding vehicles, portable machines, and equipment that operate in hazardous atmospheres, so the usual practice is to mount the reel outside the classified area and run the 50 foot cable to the equipment being bonded. If the reel body must sit inside a classified area, verify the area classification against the rating before you specify it.
5) Should I order the single cable or the Y-type on the Appleton SD11?
The SD11 is offered in single or Y-type cable configuration. Single is the normal choice for one bonding point, a truck frame or a drum. The Y-type splits the run so you can clamp two points from one reel, which is how crews handle a vehicle plus the receiving container during a transfer. You also choose cable with or without a nylon jacket; the jacket helps where the cable drags over paint or product surfaces you do not want scratched.
6) What kind of clamp comes on the Appleton SD11 grounding reel?
It terminates in a 100 Amp universal jaw type grounding clamp. Universal jaw means it bites on a range of shapes, a truck frame member, a flange, a lug, or a drum rim, rather than needing a dedicated stud. The 100A rating is the clamp's current capacity; static dissipation itself draws almost nothing.
7) Will the SD11 grounding reel hold up outdoors at a loading rack?
The housing is all-steel and enclosed, finished in a red epoxy powder coat for corrosion resistance, and the cable is galvanized steel. That is the build for outdoor truck and rail loading racks and plant yards. The red finish also makes the reel easy to spot as a safety device, which matters when an operator has to find the bonding point before starting a transfer.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Appleton static discharge Reelite?
Order it as Appleton SD-11, from the SD Series Reelite line of static discharge grounding reels. Specify the cable configuration (single or Y-type) and whether you want the nylon jacketed cable when you place the order, since those are the variables on the reel.
