Low Voltage Power Cables
Description

German Standard Industrial Cable H05VV-F / H05VVH2-F

Product Overview

The H05VV-F and H05VVH2-F are German standard PVC flexible cables designed for medium mechanical stress in damp and wet environments. They are suited for refrigerators, washing machines, spin dryers, and other appliances, as long as applicable equipment specifications are met. They are also suitable for cooking and heating apparatus, provided the cable does not come into direct contact with hot parts of the apparatus or any other heat source.

Further applications include fixed installation in furniture, partition walls, decorative covering, and in the hollow spaces of prefabricated building parts. These cables are not suitable for outdoor use, industrial applications (except clothing manufacture), or farming applications.

The maximum operating voltage in a single or three-phase system is Uo/U 318/550 volts. In a direct system, the maximum operating voltage is Uo/U 413/825 volts. The cables are manufactured to <HAR> CEI 20-20/5 / 20-35 (EN60332-1) / 20-52, with 0.5–2.5 mm² to BS6500, 4.0 mm² to BS7919, 6.0 mm² generally to BS7919, VDE0281, CENELEC HD21.5, and the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC. They are ROHS compliant.
