Product Details
RS PRO BASEC Approved H03VVH2-F Harmonised Flexible PVC Insulated Mains Cable
From RS PRO a high-quality light duty H03VVH2-F harmonised twin flat flexible mains power cable with PVC insulation and a PVC jacket. This mains cable has a voltage rating of 300/300 V and is designed for use indoors for wiring in mobile and lightweight household and office applications.
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 2 cores made up of IEC 60228 Class 5 stranded copper conductors or wires. These two cores are adjacent to one another which gives the cable its flat or ovular shape. 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 H03VVH2-F Mean?
H03VVH2-F cable (also known as 2192Y 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.
H03VVH2-F is the code for this harmonised cable which breaks down into the following:
H = Harmonised
03 = 300 / 300 voltage rating
V = PVC insulation
V = PVC sheath
H2 = Flat construction
F = Flexible copper conductors
03 = 300 / 300 voltage rating
V = PVC insulation
V = PVC sheath
H2 = Flat construction
F = Flexible copper conductors
