Situations Requiring Flame Retardancy
Case: Indonesia
In Jakarta's industrial zones, H07V-K cables have been widely installed in high-rise commercial buildings for energy distribution and control panels, while H05V-K is commonly used in small motor controllers and automation panels. These installations benefit from flexibility, UV resistance, and BASEC approval, ensuring long-term reliability in tropical climates.
How Do H05V-K and H07V-K Compare?
While both cables belong to the 2491X series, they are suited for different voltage ranges and mechanical demands.
Feature | H05V-K | H07V-K |
|---|---|---|
Voltage Rating | 300/500V | 450/750V |
Cross Section Range | 0.5–1 mm² | 1.5–70 mm² |
Overall Diameter | 2.2–2.55 mm | 3.0–14.1 mm |
Weight | 9.1–14.4 kg/km | 20.1–669.3 kg/km |
Typical Application | Small panels, low-current circuits | Medium to high-current circuits, industrial panels |
Flexibility | High | Moderate |
Cost | Lower | Higher |
Key Takeaway: H05V-K is preferred for light-duty panel wiring, while H07V-K is ideal for heavier, higher-voltage applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What Is the Difference Between 2491X, H05V-K, and H07V-K?
2491X is the series name encompassing both H05V-K and H07V-K.
H05V-K: Low voltage, flexible, small cross-sections (0.5–1 mm²).
H07V-K: Higher voltage, larger cross-sections (1.5–70 mm²), suitable for industrial panels.
Can These Cables Be Used Outdoors?
Yes, both H05V-K and H07V-K are UV resistant. For long-term outdoor exposure, additional protection such as conduits or shading is recommended.
Are 2491X Cables Flame Retardant?
Yes, they conform to IEC/EN 60332-1-2, ensuring flame retardancy in case of fire, which is essential for industrial and commercial safety.
How Flexible Are These Cables?
H05V-K: Highly flexible, ideal for small panels and tight spaces.
H07V-K: Moderately flexible, suitable for larger panels and higher currents.
What Are Typical Applications in Indonesia?
