WOODS

WOODS is a brand recognized for its range of electrical power distribution and protection products, including surge protectors and cord storage reels. The brand's product line is designed for general-purpose and industrial applications where reliable power management and surge suppression are required. WOODS surge protectors are available in various configurations, with outlet counts ranging from 4 to 8, cord lengths from 3 to 6 feet, and surge energy ratings from 900 J to 3,560 J. These units are rated for 15 A current and feature standard NEMA 5-15P plugs and 5-15R receptacles, making them compatible with common North American electrical systems. Mounting options include non-mounting (free-standing) and keyhole styles, allowing for flexible placement on workbenches, walls, or equipment racks. The surge protectors are typically housed in durable plastic enclosures in black, white, or gray finishes. In addition to surge protectors, WOODS offers hand-wind cord reels, such as the model with a capacity to hold up to 100 feet of 16/3 gauge cord, suitable for bench, floor, or wall mounting. These reels facilitate organized cord management in workshops, maintenance areas, and industrial facilities. 3G Electric supplies a selection of WOODS products, including 19 SKUs, with datasheets and logistics support for global procurement. The brand's focus on practical, specification-driven designs makes it a choice for engineers and maintenance managers seeking straightforward surge protection and cord management solutions without unnecessary complexity. WOODS products are typically built to meet standard safety and performance requirements, with surge protectors offering clamping voltage and response times appropriate for protecting sensitive electronics from transient voltage spikes. The cord reels are constructed with steel frames and polypropylene components for durability in demanding environments. For procurement specialists, WOODS provides a consistent product line with clear specifications, facilitating easy integration into existing electrical systems and maintenance routines.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about WOODS from 3G Electric.

What are the key specifications to consider when selecting a WOODS surge protector for industrial equipment?

When selecting a WOODS surge protector, consider the joule rating, which indicates energy absorption capacity; models range from 900 J to 3,560 J. Also evaluate the number of outlets (4 to 8), cord length (3 to 6 ft), and current rating (15 A). Mounting style—non-mounting or keyhole—affects installation flexibility. Ensure the plug type (5-15P) matches your power source. For industrial environments, higher joule ratings and keyhole mounting for secure attachment are recommended.

Can WOODS cord reels be mounted on walls or ceilings in a workshop?

Yes, WOODS hand-wind cord reels, such as the model with 100 ft capacity, are designed for bench, floor, or wall mounting. The reel features a steel frame and can be secured using appropriate hardware (not included). Wall mounting is suitable for workshops to keep cords off the floor, reducing trip hazards and improving organization. Ensure the mounting surface can support the reel's weight when fully loaded with cord.

What is the difference between non-mounting and keyhole mounting on WOODS surge protectors?

Non-mounting surge protectors are designed to sit on a flat surface, such as a desk or shelf, without permanent attachment. Keyhole mounting allows the unit to be secured to a wall or vertical surface using screws, providing a fixed installation. Keyhole mounting is beneficial in industrial settings where the protector must stay in place to prevent accidental disconnection or movement.

Are WOODS surge protectors suitable for protecting sensitive electronics like PLCs or control systems?

WOODS surge protectors with joule ratings of 1,780 J or higher can provide protection for sensitive electronics by clamping transient voltage spikes. However, for critical industrial control systems, verify the clamping voltage and response time specifications against the equipment's requirements. General-purpose surge protectors are typically adequate for non-critical loads, but dedicated industrial-grade suppressors may be needed for high-value or sensitive systems.

What cord gauge is recommended for use with WOODS cord reels?

WOODS hand-wind cord reels are rated to hold up to 100 ft of 16/3 gauge cord. This gauge is suitable for light- to medium-duty applications, such as powering tools or equipment drawing up to 13 A. For higher current loads, consider using a reel with a larger capacity or a different cord gauge, but ensure compatibility with the reel's design specifications.
