Harmonized Standard Industrial Cable H05V-U / H07V-U , 300/500V & 450/750V – VDE 0281

Low Voltage Power Cables

Harmonized Standard Industrial Cable H05V-U / H07V-U

Product Overview

The H05V-U and H07V-U are harmonized standard industrial cables designed for fixed protected installation. They are suitable for installation inside apparatus, as well as for protective laying to lighting systems, in dry rooms, production facilities, switch and distributor boards, in tubes, and under and surface mounting of plasters.

The H07V-U is also suitable for laying in tubes, under and surface mounting of plasters, and in closed installation conduits. These cables are not allowed for direct laying in cable trays, channels, or tanks. They are permitted for the inner wiring of equipment, distributor and switchboards, and for protective laying to lighting with a nominal voltage up to 1000 V alternating current or up to 750 V direct current against ground.

The cables are manufactured to <HAR> HD 21.3 S3, VDE-0281 Part-3, CEI20-20/3, and comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC. They are also ROHS compliant.
