A scruffy pair turned up in a battered old VW camper when we were in Devon and connected a normal reel extension to the EHU then unwound around 10' of cable then threw the reel into the back of the van which was piled high with clothes etc.

They did not look the types to accept advise so we left it to the site staff,they had gone the next day.

I have melted one of these reels myself by running two hot air guns for around half an hour drying a floor,made a right mess inside.

 We always lay the excess cable under the van.

when a cable is wound up, it creates an electrical field, getting rather warm, some case`s starts to melt  even off the drum cable just wound up on the floor is dangerous,Spread the cable in long lenghs if you have to much cable left over from the EHU point.
