Bobbin Reel Insulators

Bobbin Reel Insulators in Kenya – Durable High-Performance Insulators for Electrical Fencing

At Moffam Electricals, we supply and install premium-quality bobbin reel insulators in Kenya for electric fencing systems used in residential, agricultural, commercial, and institutional applications. Designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and high voltage, our bobbin reel insulators provide unmatched durability, safety, and reliability for all types of electric fences.

What is a Bobbin Reel Insulator?

A bobbin reel insulator, sometimes referred to as a cylindrical or spool insulator, is an essential component used in electric fencing systems. Its primary purpose is to hold the live electric wire in position while insulating it from fence posts, preventing energy loss or short-circuits. The reel shape provides enhanced grip and minimizes arcing between the wire and the supporting structure.

These insulators are manufactured from high-grade UV-stabilized polypropylene or reinforced polyethylene to offer long-lasting protection against environmental stressors such as sun, wind, rain, and animal contact.

Key Features of Our Bobbin Reel Insulators

• High Voltage Resistance: Supports up to 20kV, ideal for high-power electric fencing systems.

• UV-Stabilized Materials: Prevents cracking or fading due to prolonged exposure to sunlight.

• Superior Grip Design: Engineered with a deep reel groove to ensure the wire remains tightly secured.

• Multi-Wire Compatibility: Suitable for high-tensile wire, aluminium wire, polywire, and even electric tape.

• Easy Mounting: Comes with either pre-drilled holes or threaded designs for easy installation on wooden, steel, or concrete posts.

• Rust-Free: No metal parts, ensuring no corrosion even in coastal or humid environments.

• Heavy-Duty Performance: Withstands mechanical stress caused by livestock or windblown vegetation.

Applications of Bobbin Reel Insulators in Kenya

Our bobbin reel insulators are widely used in:

• Perimeter Electric Fencing: For residential estates, farms, and commercial premises.

• Livestock Containment: Ensures animals stay within boundary lines while keeping predators out.

• Wildlife Control: Effective in deterring wild animals like monkeys, hyenas, and elephants from invading farms.

• High-Security Zones: Used in prisons, airports, and government buildings for added electric fencing reliability.

How to Install Bobbin Reel Insulators

1. Mark Post Locations: Identify spacing intervals along your fence line.

2. Secure Insulator to Post:

   • For wooden posts: use screws or nails to fix the insulator firmly.

   • For metal posts: use pre-threaded clamps or bolt-on adapters.

3. Thread Electric Wire:

   • Run the wire through the reel groove in the insulator.

   • Maintain proper tension and avoid sharp bends.

4. Connect to Energizer: Ensure correct linkage to energizer terminals and ground system.

5. Test the System: Use a digital fence tester to confirm voltage continuity and insulation integrity.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Fence Insulators

• Inspect regularly for cracks, breaks, or carbon tracking.

• Replace any insulator that shows signs of arcing or heat damage.

• Ensure wires remain properly tensioned to reduce stress on the insulators.

• Clean debris and vegetation from contact areas to prevent shorts.
