Engineer’s summary: H05VV5-F is the harmonised answer where a European machine specification demands a HAR-marked cable and oil resistance. Its limits: +70 °C maximum (not +80 °C), no flexing below −5 °C, no screen, and no outdoor use without UV protection.

1. Reading the designation

Harmonised code per CENELEC HD 361: H harmonised, 05 300/500 V, V PVC insulation, V5 oil-resistant PVC sheath, F fine-wire flexible conductor. ‘G’ in the tables means with GNYE (from 3 cores); ‘x’ without.

42

Standard constructions, 3 G 0.5 to 25 G 2.5 mm².

HAR

European harmonised approval.

12.5 × d

Moved bending radius.

Oil + water

Suitable for water-oil mixtures.

2. Construction

The construction is fixed by EN 50525-2-51, which is what makes the HAR mark possible: every harmonised manufacturer builds to the same insulation and sheath limits and diameter ranges.

7. Design calculations

Current rating: DIN VDE base value × f(ambient) × f(grouping) × f(loaded cores) Short-circuit (PVC 70 → 150 °C, Cu): I_k ≈ 115 × S / √t e.g. 7 G 2.5, t = 0.2 s → ≈ 0.64 kA Voltage drop: ΔU = √3 × I × L × (R cosφ + X sinφ) Bending (use d_max): fixed R ≥ 4 × d · moved R ≥ 12.5 × d e.g. 25 G 1.5 (d_max = 24.3 mm): 97 mm / 304 mm Gland sizing: clamping range must cover d_min … d_max of the size

8. Certification and traceability

This cable carries the HAR approval to EN 50525-2-51 / VDE 0285-525-2-51, is RoHS-conform, CE-conform to the 2014/35/EU Low Voltage Directive and LABS-/silicone-free during production. FeiChun Cable holds a complete export certification portfolio — including CE, UKCA, VDE, EAC, ATEX and IECEx — and every certificate supplied is checked against the exact type, voltage, factory and standard of the order.

Routine tests

Conductor resistance, 3 kV voltage test, insulation resistance, core numbering, dimensions within harmonised limits, marking.

Type tests

IEC 60332-1 flame, oil immersion of the sheath (EN 50363-4-1), ageing, cold behaviour.

Delivery documents

Approved datasheet, test report per drum, HAR marking, batch number and length marking.

9. FAQ

What does H05VV5-F mean?

H = harmonised; 05 = 300/500 V; V = PVC insulation; V5 = oil-resistant PVC sheath; F = fine-wire flexible conductor (class 5).

What is the HAR mark?

The European harmonisation mark under the HAR agreement: the cable is certified to the harmonised standard EN 50525-2-51 and recognised by participating European certification bodies.

Why are diameters given as a range?

EN 50525-2-51 specifies lower and upper limits for the mean outer diameter. Size EMC or sealing glands so the full range is covered; bending radii here are calculated from the upper value.

Is it suitable for coolant emulsions?

Yes. It is suitable for wet rooms including water-oil mixtures, thanks to the special oil-resistant PVC sheath.

Can it be used outdoors?

Only with UV protection; never buried.

How many cores?

Up to 34 cores from 0.5 to 1.5 mm², and up to 25 cores in 2.5 mm².
