MULTINORM H05VV5-F HAR/UL/CSA: one oil-resistant control cable for Europe and North America
An engineering guide to the multi-approved control cable: HAR 300/500 V at 70 °C and UL/CSA 600 V at 90 °C, numbered black cores, AWG equivalents and a special oil-resistant grey PVC sheath for wet rooms and water-oil mixtures.

Engineer’s summary: MULTINORM reduces stock and documentation for machine builders exporting to both Europe and North America: up to 2.5 mm² the cable carries HAR, UL and CSA; from 4 mm² it is the 2-NORM UL/CSA version. Always apply the voltage and temperature rating of the code you design to.
1. Reading the designation
H05VV5-F = harmonised 300/500 V, PVC insulation, oil-resistant PVC sheath, fine-wire conductor. MULTINORM = HAR + UL + CSA (0.5–2.5 mm²). 2-NORM (H)05VV5-F = UL + CSA (4–120 mm²). ‘G’ = with GNYE; ‘x’ = without.

8. Design calculations
IEC installation: DIN VDE base rating × f(ambient) × f(grouping) × f(loaded cores), 70 °C basis
North American machinery: NFPA 79 / UL ampacity tables, 90 °C cable rating (terminal ratings may limit to 60/75 °C)
Short-circuit (PVC 70 → 150 °C, Cu): I_k ≈ 115 × S / √t e.g. 4 G 120, t = 0.5 s → ≈ 19.5 kA
Voltage drop: ΔU = √3 × I × L × (R cosφ + X sinφ)
Bending: fixed R ≥ 4 × d · moved R ≥ 12.5 × d e.g. 25 G 1.5 (d = 20.9 mm): 84 mm / 261 mm
9. Certification and traceability
This cable carries HAR (300/500 V, 70 °C) to EN 50525-2-51 / VDE 0285-525-2-51 up to 2.5 mm², and UL/CSA (600 V, 90 °C) to UL Style 2517/2587 and CSA C22.2 No. 210.2-M90 across the range. It 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.

10. FAQ
What does MULTINORM mean?
One cable carrying three approvals — HAR, UL and CSA — so a machine builder stocks a single control cable for European and North American machines.
Why is it called 2-NORM from 4 mm²?
From 4 mm² the harmonised HAR scope ends; these sizes carry UL and CSA approvals and follow the H05VV5-F construction, hence (H)05VV5-F UL/CSA.
Why does the temperature differ?
HAR rates the cable at 70 °C, UL/CSA at 90 °C. Apply the rating of the code you are designing to.
What does parallel laying at 600 V mean?
In North American installations, cables may share a raceway only if their voltage ratings cover the highest voltage present. The 600 V rating allows it next to other 600 V cables.
What are VW-1 and FT1?
UL VW-1 and CSA FT1 are vertical flame tests on a single cable, the North American counterparts of IEC 60332-1.
Suitable for coolant?
Yes: wet rooms including water-oil mixtures, with an oil-resistant sheath to EN 50363-4-1 and UL 1581 T50.182.
