H03VV-F/H03VVH2-F

Application and Description

These cable types are especially suited for use on small appliances with low mechanical stress and for connection for light household appliances, e.g. kitchen utensils, desk lamps, floor lamps, vacuum cleaners, office machines, radios, etc. As far as these cables are admitted to the relevant specifications of the equipment, They are not permitted for use with cooking or heating apparatus.

Cables with cross section 0.75 mm^2 are not suitable for outdoor use or use of industrial or farmer machineries. Max operating voltage in single or three phase system is Uo/U 330/330 volts. In a direct current system max operating voltage is Uo/U 495/495 volts.

Standard and Approval
