H05VV-F 3G1.5 mm² black 50 m-reel Eca Medium PVC hose cable content_copy

The ECA hose cable H05VV-F 3G1,5 SW is a PVC-insulated cable for indoor use under moderate mechanical stress. It is particularly suitable for connecting household appliances such as washing machines, dryers, spin dryers, as well as cooking and heating appliances, provided there is no strong heat influence on the cable. The cable is not intended for outdoor use and must not be used with heating or cooking appliances subject to high thermal loads. The designation H05VV-F indicates a hose cable with a rated voltage of 300/500 V, designed for operation in electrical installations under moderate mechanical stress.

Applications
This cable is intended for connecting electrical appliances in domestic and commercial environments where moderate mechanical stress is expected. Examples include washing machines, dryers, kitchen appliances without direct heat exposure to the cable, and other household appliances not operated continuously under high temperatures. Outdoor use is excluded, as the cable is not designed for weather exposure.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable comprises three conductors, each with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², one of which is configured as a protective earth conductor (gn-ge). The conductors are made of bare, fine-stranded copper wires, ensuring high flexibility and good electrical conductivity. The conductor insulation is made of PVC in accordance with VDE 0207, providing good insulation performance and mechanical stability. The conductor identification follows VDE 0293-308, enabling clear identification of individual conductors. The outer sheath is black, although white versions are also available; other colors can be ordered upon request.

Technical Explanation
The rated voltage of 300/500 V means the cable is designed for an operating voltage of up to 500 V between conductor and earth, which is sufficient for most household and small industrial applications. The test voltage is 2500 V, indicating the electrical strength of the insulation under test conditions. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, and during installation, the cable must withstand temperatures from +5 °C to +70 °C. After installation, the ambient temperature can drop to -30 °C without damaging the cable. 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 does not propagate flame during a flame test.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is suitable for use with standard sockets and appliance connection outlets rated for 230 V and 16 A. It can be combined with appropriate plugs, switches, and fuses suitable for the respective application and rated voltage. The inclusion of a protective earth conductor (gn-ge) in the designation G enhances electrical safety. The cable is not intended for use in explosive environments.

Installation and Mounting
The cable can be installed indoors, with ambient temperatures during installation ranging from +5 °C to +70 °C. After installation, ambient temperatures can drop to -30 °C. The cable must be installed so that the minimum bending radius of 7.5 times the cable diameter is maintained to avoid mechanical damage. Installation is typically carried out in open or enclosed systems, but the cable must not be used outdoors or in areas with direct heat exposure.

Operational Advantages
The cable offers high flexibility due to fine-stranded copper wires, enabling easy installation and bending. The PVC insulation ensures good mechanical stability and electrical insulation. The protective earth conductor (gn-ge) increases safety during use. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, test method B, reduces fire risk in the event of a short circuit. The cable is suitable for use in residential and commercial rooms where moderate mechanical stress is expected.
