The cable H03VV-F 3G0.75 SW from böhm Kabel is a PVC-sheathed cable for indoor use under low mechanical stress. It is particularly suitable for connecting light electrical appliances such as radio equipment, lighting, vacuum cleaners, or kitchen appliances. However, the cable is not intended for heating and cooking appliances, nor for outdoor use. The designation SW refers to the black sheath color, with white versions also available. The cable is supplied in a length of 100 meters as a ring.

Applications

The H03VV-F cable is designed for applications where no high mechanical loads occur. It is commonly used in households or small commercial enterprises to connect low-power electrical appliances to the power grid. Due to its low mechanical strength, it is not suitable for mobile devices subject to high movement or pulling stress. Outdoor use is excluded, as the cable is not protected against weather influences such as moisture or UV radiation.

Functions and Features in Detail

The cable consists of three conductors with a cross-section of 0.75 mm², each made from fine-stranded, bare copper wire. The conductor insulation is made of PVC, complying with VDE 0207 standards. Conductor identification follows VDE 0293-308, ensuring clear identification of the conductors (live, neutral, protective earth). The protective earth conductor is integrated as gn-ge (green-yellow marking), enhancing electrical safety. The sheath color is black, providing good visibility and differentiation from other cables.

Technical Explanation

The rated voltage of the cable is 300/300 V, meaning it is suitable for use in household networks with 230 V AC. The test voltage of 2000 V ensures insulation strength and guarantees that the cable will not experience breakdowns even under increased electrical stress. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, with the cable being installable at temperatures from +5 °C and operable after installation from –30 °C. The minimum bending radius is 7.5 times the cable diameter, allowing flexible installation without damaging the cable. Flame retardancy corresponds to test method B according to VDE 0472 Part 804 (equivalent to IEC 332-1), meaning the cable is only limitedly flammable during fire tests and does not exhibit flame propagation.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for use with standard sockets and switch sockets rated for 230 V and 16 A. It can be connected to suitable plugs, switches, and cable lugs that also comply with VDE 0293-308 and VDE 0207 standards. Use of protective earth cables is required to ensure electrical safety. The cable is not intended for use with high-power appliances such as heaters or cooktops, as these cause higher thermal and mechanical loads.

Installation and Mounting

The cable can be installed indoors, with installation recommended at temperatures from +5 °C. After installation, the cable can be operated at temperatures down to –30 °C. Installation is typically done in open routing or within protective conduits, ensuring the minimum bending radius of 7.5 times the cable diameter is maintained. Connections to sockets or devices are made using appropriate cable lugs or connectors designed for a cross-section of 0.75 mm².

Operational Advantages

The H03VV-F cable provides reliable power supply for small electrical appliances. The PVC insulation ensures good electrical insulation and mechanical stability. The integrated protective earth conductor enhances operational safety. The flame-retardant design reduces fire risk in case of short circuits. The cable is easy to install and connect, reducing mounting time. The black color enables clear visual differentiation from other cables in the installation network.

Protection Rating

The cable is not intended for outdoor use and offers no protection against weather influences. Outdoor use is excluded, as the PVC insulation is not UV-resistant and can be damaged by moisture.

Operating Voltage

The cable is designed for an operating voltage of 300/300 V, enabling use in household networks with 230 V AC. The test voltage of 2000 V ensures insulation strength.

Flame Retardancy

Flame retardancy corresponds to test method B according to VDE 0472 Part 804 (equivalent to IEC 332-1), meaning the cable is only limitedly flammable during fire tests and does not exhibit flame propagation.

Conductor Identification

Conductor identification follows VDE 0293-308, ensuring clear identification of the conductors (live, neutral, protective earth). The protective earth conductor is integrated as gn-ge (green-yellow marking).

Copper Wire

The conductors are made from fine-stranded, bare copper wires, providing high electrical conductivity and flexibility. The fine-stranded structure allows better bending resistance and reduces the risk of breakage during frequent bending.

PVC Insulation

The conductor insulation is made of PVC, complying with VDE 0207 standards. PVC provides good electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.

Temperature Range

The cable can be installed at temperatures from +5 °C and operated after installation from –30 °C. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C.

Bending Radius

The minimum bending radius is 7.5 times the cable diameter, allowing flexible installation without damaging the cable.

Protective Earth Conductor

The cable includes an integrated protective earth conductor (gn-ge), enhancing electrical safety. The letter G in the type designation indicates the version with protective earth conductor.

Sheath Color

The sheath color is black, providing good visibility and differentiation from other cables. Additional colors are available upon request.
