H05V-U, H05V-R and H05V-K are harmonised cables with PVC insulation and a rated voltage of 300/500 V. The principal distinction between the three products is the construction of the copper conductor: H05V-U has a solid conductor, H05V-R has a stranded conductor and H05V-K has a fine-stranded conductor.

This content has been prepared for a global/international market context. Therefore, the products are referred to by their verified harmonised codes. Local market names are not used as global names in this comparison.

Key differences by conductor construction

H05V-U is specified with a solid copper conductor for fixed electrical installations. H05V-R has a stranded copper conductor and is stated for fixed-installation applications. H05V-K uses a fine-stranded conductor and is described as a flexible cable for confined panel and equipment connections.

Common technical information

For all three products compared, the insulation is stated as PVC, the insulation type as PVC(TI1), the rated voltage as 300/500 V and the test voltage as 2-2.5 kV. The operating temperature is 70 °C, the insulation colour standard is TS 9758, and the flame test standard is TS EN 60332-1-2. The conductor resistance standard is specified as TS EN 60228 for all three products.

The construction standard is recorded as TSE EN 50525-2-31; TSE IEC 60227; VDE 0281 for H05V-U and H05V-K, and as TS EN 50525-2-31; TSE IEC 60227; VDE 0281 for H05V-R.

Bending and termination considerations

The minimum bending diameter is given as 6xD, 12xD for H05V-U and H05V-R, and as 6xD for H05V-K. For the fine-stranded construction of H05V-K, using suitable ferrules and terminal equipment at connection ends helps provide orderly termination of the fine strands.

Comparison of cross-section data

The source data contains 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 mm² cross-section information for all three products. When selecting a cross-section, the installation method, ambient temperature, connection equipment and applicable installation rules should be evaluated together with the current requirement. The current values in the technical table are those stated in the product data and may require further evaluation for different installation conditions.

Selection approach

Product selection should take account of the required conductor construction and the stated installation context. These products should not be presented as direct substitutes for one another.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference is the conductor construction. H05V-U uses a solid copper conductor, while H05V-R uses a stranded copper conductor. Both are stated in the source data for fixed-installation contexts.

No. According to the product description provided, although the construction of H05V-R facilitates bending, it should not be used in moving systems in place of fine-stranded flexible cables such as H05V-K.

H05V-K has a fine-stranded conductor. The product description states that suitable ferrules and terminal equipment help provide orderly and safe termination of the fine strands.

Yes. The rated voltage is stated as 300/500 V for H05V-U, H05V-R and H05V-K.
