Workshop cable H05VV-F (OWY) 500V 2x1.5 H05VV-F-2X1,5 OWY

Universal workshop cable for various applications

The H05VV-F cable, also known as OWY, is a versatile solution for powering electrical devices in both domestic and professional environments. Designed to operate at 300/500V, it performs well both indoors and outdoors. Its flexible construction and copper cores make it ideal for connecting portable devices and in installations requiring frequent bending.

Construction and properties

This cable is characterized by a solid construction, consisting of multi-strand copper cores of class 5 – which ensures high flexibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue. The insulation and outer coating made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) guarantee good protection against external factors. The round shape makes it easy to route the cable in tight spaces. The outer diameter of the 2x1.5 mm² cable is approximately 7.3 mm.

• Flexibility: Class 5 stranded cores provide easy routing and bending of the cable, which is especially important when connecting portable devices.
• Durability: Copper cores guarantee good electrical conductivity and long-term reliability.
• Protection: PVC coating protects against moisture and mechanical damage.
• Versatility: The cable is suitable for use in dry and humid rooms, as well as outdoors (provided protection from direct sunlight).
• Safety: Fire reaction class Eca ensures limited impact on the spread of fire in the event of a fire.

Applications and installation

The H05VV-F cable is widely used in:

• Connecting household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, cookers).
• Powering power tools on construction sites and in workshops.
• Construction of extension cords and power strips.
• Lighting installations.
• Laying in cable ducts or directly on the ground (with appropriate mechanical protection).

The minimum bending radius during permanent installation is 43.8 mm – this should be observed to avoid damage to the internal cores. The cable is designed to operate at temperatures from -40°C to +70°C. Remember to select the correct core cross-section for the current load of the installation.
