FAQs of XWA H07RN-F Cable
What does the designation H07RN-F stand for?
The H07RN-F naming convention indicates the cable’s standardized European specifications (HAR cables).
- “H” stands for Harmonized approval
- “07” denotes a voltage rating of 450/750V
- “R” indicates the EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) core insulation
- “N” refers to the PCP (Polychloroprene) outer sheath
- “F” signifies flexible copper conductors.
Detailed regulations regarding this coding system can be found in Harmonization Document HD 361 and standard DIN VDE 0292. And sometimes H07RN-F is misspelt as HO7RN-F.
What is H07RN-F cable used for?
H07RN-F is a heavy-duty, flexible rubber cable primarily used in environments that require high mechanical strength and resistance to harsh weather. Because it can withstand continuous flexing, abrasion, and exposure to oil and UV rays, it is widely used for:
- Industrial & Construction Sites: Powering heavy mobile equipment, cranes, hoists, and temporary power generators.
- Port & Marine Operations: Supplying power to dockside machinery where saltwater and moisture resistance is critical.
- Water Treatment & Mining: Operating submersible pumps and drilling equipment (it can handle wet environments and extreme temperatures).
- Events & Entertainment: Providing temporary, durable power feeds for outdoor stage lighting and audio-visual equipment.
How is the price of H07RN-F cable compared to normal low voltage cable?
H07RN-F cables generally have a higher initial price point compared to standard low voltage cables (such as PVC-insulated cables like H05VV-F or standard THHN). This price difference is due to the advanced materials and complex manufacturing required. The EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation and PCP (Polychloroprene) outer sheath are significantly more expensive to produce than standard plastics, but they provide unparalleled flexibility, high-temperature tolerance, and resistance to oils and chemicals.
Is H07RN-F cable suitable for use in water or wet environments?
Yes. Thanks to its PCP neoprene outer sheath, H07RN-F is highly resistant to moisture, dampness, and weather. It is commonly used in water treatment plants, drainage operations, and dockyards. However, while it can handle temporary submersion and wet conditions (typically AD8 water resistance), you should consult with our technical team if your project requires permanent, deep-water submarine deployment.
Can this cable withstand oil, grease, and extreme temperatures?
Absolutely. The robust Polychloroprene (PCP) jacket provides excellent resistance to mineral oils, greases, and UV radiation. It maintains high flexibility in cold environments down to -30°C (in fixed installations) and can safely operate in ambient temperatures up to +90°C, making it ideal for engine rooms, industrial factories, and outdoor construction sites.
What is the difference between H07RN-F and H05RN-F?
The primary difference is their voltage rating and durability. H05RN-F is rated for 300/500V and is suited for lighter indoor use (like domestic appliances). H07RN-F is rated for 450/750V, features a thicker, more robust heavy-duty rubber sheath, and is designed for severe industrial applications, outdoor weather exposure, and heavy mechanical stress.
What are the most commonly used H07RN-F cable specifications?
The ideal specification depends entirely on the power load and whether the application requires single-phase or three-phase power. However, across industrial and construction sectors, several core and cross-sectional area combinations are heavily requested. The most popular configurations include:
- 3-Core Cables (Typical for Single-Phase): Used extensively for portable tools, extension leads, and temporary lighting. The most heavily utilized sizes are H07RN-F 3G1.5 for lighter loads and H07RN-F 3G2.5 (also frequently listed as H07RN-F 3×2.5) for standard mobile machinery requiring higher ampacity.
- 5-Core Cables (Three-Phase Applications): Essential for heavy-duty industrial equipment, large motors, and generator connections. Standard medium-load specifications include the H07RN-F 5G2.5 and H07RN-F 5G4. For more demanding power distribution and high-capacity temporary power, the H07RN-F 5G6 (often referred to as H07RN-F 5×6) and the robust H07RN-F 5G10 are the industry standards.
Note: In these designations, “G” indicates the inclusion of a green/yellow earth conductor, while “X” indicates cables without a dedicated earth conductor. These are not interchangeable and should be selected according to the specific application requirements.
