German Standard Industrial Cable H05V2-K / H07V2-K
Product Overview
The H05V2-K and H07V2-K are German standard heat-resistant flexible single-conductor hook-up wires designed for use in power current installation, switch cabinets, motors, and transformers subject to direct contact with high temperatures (e.g., varnishing machines and drying towers). They are also suitable for inside wiring of electrical equipment such as lighting and heating apparatus.
The cables feature fine bare copper strands, special heat-resistant PVC TI3 core insulation, and are manufactured to <HAR> HD 21.7 S2, CEI 20-20, CEI20-52, VDE-0281 Part-7. They comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC and are ROHS compliant.
