These harmonised rubber-sheathed flexible cables are intended for applications of medium load in dry, moist and wet rooms, for outdoor equipment such in agricultural, industrial applications and locations with associated fire hazards. These cables are also used for large cooking vessels, hot-plates, hand-held lighting fixtures, electric tools such as circular saws, drills, handyman tools as well as for portable motors or machinery at building sites and in agricultural operations etc.; also used for permanent installation, e.g. on plaster, in temporary buildings and living quarters; approved for direct installation to components in hoisting equipment, machinery etc.. These cables may be operated in protected permanent installations in conduit or in equipment as armature connecting cable for motors with a rated voltage of up to 1000 V alternating current or a direct current voltage of 750 V, earthed. Applications in rail cars with an operating voltage of 900 V, earthed, is permitted.

These cables are approved according to VDE 0165 for use in locations with an associated explosion hazard.

Characteristic features

•  Resistant to oil, ozone, UV radiation and weathering.


Note

•  These cables are not suitable for use in trailing chains subjected to mechanical loads, for mining applications or in quarries.
•  An application of these cables is permitted in rooms and outdoors for ambient air temperatures between - 25 °C and + 60 °C.
•  The connection between control unit and a machine such as a crane or hoisting equipment, or between control station and production machinery is also considered as being such an application if the cable length does not normally exceed 10 m. Longer lengths are only permitted for a permanent installation.
