The cable H03VVH2-F 2x0.75 from böhm Kabel is a flat, flexible PVC-sheathed cable for indoor use under low mechanical stress. It is particularly suitable for connecting light electrical appliances such as radio devices, lamps, vacuum cleaners, or kitchen appliances. The cable is not intended for heating and cooking appliances, nor for outdoor use. The designation H03VVH2-F refers to the specific version with two conductors, each with a cross-section of 0.75 mm², and a black-colored sheath. The designation H2-F indicates the flat shape of the cable, enabling compact installation.

Applications

The cable is designed for use in residential and commercial buildings where a flexible and easy-to-install connection for small electrical devices is required. It is particularly suitable for connections where no high mechanical loads occur, such as with household appliances with low energy consumption. Outdoor use is excluded, as the cable is not designed for weather influences.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable consists of bare, fine-stranded copper conductors, ensuring high flexibility and good electrical conductivity. The conductor insulation is made of PVC, specified according to VDE 0207, providing reliable insulation of individual conductors. Conductor identification follows VDE 0293-308, enabling clear identification of the conductors. The sheath is available in black or white, with additional colors available upon request. The designation H2-F indicates the flat design, allowing better placement in confined spaces or under furniture.

Technology Explained Simply

The rated voltage is 300/300 V, meaning the cable is designed for an operating voltage of up to 300 V between conductor and earth, as well as between two conductors. The test voltage of 2000 V serves for safety testing and ensures the insulation remains stable even under increased voltage. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, with the cable tolerating temperatures from +5 °C to +70 °C during installation. After installation, it can be exposed to temperatures from -30 °C to +70 °C. The minimum bending radius is 7.5 times the cable diameter, enabling flexible installation without damage. Flame retardancy corresponds to VDE 0472 Part 804, Test Method B (equivalent to IEC 332-1), meaning the cable does not propagate flame during a flame test and thus presents a low fire hazard.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is suitable for use with standard sockets and appliance connection cables rated for 300/300 V. It can be used in conjunction with appropriate plugs, switches, and fuses that match the same voltage range and required current load. The flat design allows easy integration into existing installations, especially in living spaces where discreet routing is desired.

Installation and Mounting

The cable can be processed using standard tools such as cutters, cable cutters, and crimping tools. The flexible structure made of fine-stranded copper facilitates bending and routing, especially in confined spaces. Installation should take place at temperatures between +5 °C and +70 °C, with the cable tolerating temperatures down to -30 °C after installation. The minimum bending radius of 7.5 times the cable diameter must be observed to avoid damaging the insulation or conductors.

An advantage in operation is the high flexibility of the cable, enabling easy handling and installation. The flat design reduces space requirements and allows discreet installation. The PVC insulation provides good electrical insulation and is resistant to mechanical stress in indoor environments. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, Test Method B, increases operational safety, as the cable does not propagate flame during a flame test. The cable is suitable for use in residential and commercial rooms where reliable and safe power supply for small electrical appliances is required.
