H05VV-F 3x1.5mm
CH-N1 VV-U3x1.5 LNPE
H05BQ-F 3x1.5mm
would anyone know what all these letters mean and what the differences are? is 1.5mm the thickest strand available and what is this equivalent to -16AWG?
thanks
I have a cable extension roll from Migros labeled as H05VV-F 3G1mm, however i think i need something thicker. Ive seen
If only there was a global information system readily available.
e.g. https://shop.faberkabel.de/en/Flexib...-cord-H05VV-F/
Likewise H05BQ-F 3x1.5mm means the same, but the insulation is EPR and the sheath is Polyurethane - this is a cable for use with equipment which can get very warm. And food production.
CH-N1 VV-U3x1.5 LNPE
CH-N1.. don't know
VV- - as above
U - don't know
1.5 - as above
LNPE = Live, Neutral, Protective Earth.
thanks a lot, this is exactly the info I was looking for!
The linked website page was partially incorrect.
The 3 is not the strand count but the core count.
For example, 2X0.75 would be a two core cable (live and neutral) without an earth and with each core having a cross-section of 0.75mm2.
(This would be something like the cable for a plastic hand mixer).
3X1.5 would have three cores (live, neutral and earth, each with a cross-section of 1.5mm2.
The number of strands is not given - only that there are many as correctly shown as in the F for Flexible copper conductors.
For the other stuff:
The first V is PVC insulation
The second is PVC sheath.
U means single core, or Unflexible (Rather than F for flexible, stranded core).
Your example is equivalent to 15AWG.
HTH
And CH-N1? (Seems to me possibly a Swiss standard?)
It's a Swiss standard (I had to look that up but as you proposed, it's pretty obvious!)
The H ones are harmonised standards with a defined order of code lettering.
