German Standard Industrial Cable H05Z-K / H07Z-K
Product Overview
The H05Z-K and H07Z-K are German standard industrial cables designed for the internal wiring of switchboards and distributor boards with an alternating nominal voltage up to 1000 Volts or a direct voltage up to 750 volts. They are generally installed in pipes or ducts and for internal wiring of appliances with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C.
These cables are generally used in areas (such as public and government buildings) where smoke and toxic fumes may cause a threat to life and equipment. The cables produce no corrosive gases when burnt, which is particularly important where electronic equipment is installed.
The cables are manufactured to <HAR> HD 22.9 S2, VDE-0282 Part-9, BS 7211, IEC 60754-2, EN 50267, VDE 0482-267, and comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC. They are also ROHS compliant.
