Product Details
RS PRO BASEC Approved H03VV-F Harmonised Flexible PVC Insulated Mains Cable
From RS PRO a high-quality BASEC approved light duty harmonised H03VVH2-F flexible mains power cable with PVC insulation and a PVC jacket. This mains cable has a voltage rating of 300 V and is designed for use indoors for wiring in mobile and lightweight household and office applications
Note
The number of strands used in the construction of the cores is nominal and may vary.
What is Mains Cable?
A mains power cable connects an appliance to a mains electricity supply through the use of a wall socket or an extension lead which will then be plugged into a mains supply
Cable Construction
This flexible power cable consists of cores made up of fine IEC 60228 Class 5 stranded copper conductors or wires. Each individual core is surrounded by colour coded PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation for easy identification of the wires. Both the cores are then surrounded by a final outer layer of PVC called a sheath or jacket.
What is BASEC Approval?
BASEC is an independent accredited certification body for the cable industry worldwide which provides an approvals service for cables. BASEC conducts rigorous, high-quality testing across a range of sectors that supply and install cable. These tests meet all the relevant standards and regulations ensuring the cables supplied are safe to use and of the highest quality
What Does H03VV-F Mean?
H03VV-F cable is a type of harmonised cable which means it belongs to the Harmonised Reference System and conforms to the European Harmonisation Standard. This purpose of this standard is to improve standards and quality of cables across Europe to ensure the trade of a common standard product.
H03VV-F is the code for this harmonised cable which breaks down into the following:
• H = Harmonised
• 03 = 300 V voltage rating
• V = PVC insulation
• V = PVC sheath
• F = Flexible copper conductors
Benefits of PVC Insulated Mains Cable
The PVC insulation and sheath of this mains power cable has the following properties
• Low cost
• Excellent insulation properties
• Flexible
• Stable, robust and durable
• Oil resistant
Where are These Cables Used?
These PVC flexible cables are designed for use in light duty domestic and office electrical wiring applications and as general supply leads. This cable should be used on appliances that are indoors or in a covered, dry or humid area and is best used where the potential for mechanical stresses and mechanical damage is low. This cable should not be used with electrical cooking or heating apparatus. Applications include portable appliances in office and domestic environments such as table and standard lamps and small electronic appliances
