Harmonized Standard Industrial Cables
H05BN4-F

Application and Description

These EPR (ethylen-propylen rubber) insulated and CSP (chlorosulphonated polyethylene rubber or similar) sheathed electric cables can be used either in dry, humid or wet places or in contact with oil or grease, in weather conditions and under weak mechanical stress, for example for power supply to small appliances in industrial plants, machine shops, heating plates, portable lamps, farming equipment etc.

They are also suitable for caravans and camping equipment... The maximum conductor temperature in normal use: 90°C. While high temperature use, skin contact must be avoided.
