While sharing core electrical and mechanical attributes, the two variants differ primarily in their insulation formulations, as outlined below.

Electrical Specifications:

Rated Voltage: Both series are rated for 450/750V, where 450V refers to the phase-to-earth voltage and 750V to the phase-to-phase voltage, compliant with EN 50525 standards for low-voltage Power Cables. This rating ensures compatibility with most residential, commercial, and light industrial heating systems.

Current-Carrying Capacity: The continuous current rating at 70°C ambient temperature varies by cross-sectional area:

0.5mm²: 6A (suitable for 1.3kW devices)

1mm²: 10A (2.2kW)

1.5mm²: 16A (3.5kW)

2.5mm²: 24A (5.3kW)

4mm²: 32A (7.0kW)

6mm²: 40A (8.8kW)

10mm²: 57A (12.5kW)

For short-term overloads (up to 1 hour), each 规格 can handle 1.5 times its continuous current, accommodating the inrush currents common in heating equipment startup.

DC Resistance: At 20°C, the maximum DC resistance values are strictly controlled to minimize energy loss:

0.5mm²: 36.1Ω/km

1mm²: 18.1Ω/km

1.5mm²: 12.1Ω/km

2.5mm²: 8.21Ω/km

4mm²: 5.09Ω/km

6mm²: 3.39Ω/km

10mm²: 1.83Ω/km

Conductor Construction:

All conductors follow IEC 60228 Class 5 Flexibility standards, featuring multiple fine copper strands twisted to enhance maneuverability. The strand configurations are as follows:

0.5mm²: 16 strands × 0.20mm diameter

1mm²: 16 strands × 0.28mm diameter

1.5mm²: 24 strands × 0.28mm diameter

2.5mm²: 49 strands × 0.25mm diameter

4mm²: 50 strands × 0.32mm diameter

6mm²: 50 strands × 0.39mm diameter

10mm²: 49 strands × 0.50mm diameter

The copper used is high-purity electrolytic grade (99.95% purity), ensuring a conductivity of 58 MS/m at 20°C—critical for efficient power transmission in heating applications where energy loss directly impacts performance.

Insulation Properties:

H07V-U: Standard PVC Insulation with a thickness ranging from 0.6mm (0.5mm²) to 1.0mm (10mm²). It offers a dielectric strength of ≥15kV/mm and volume resistivity ≥1×10¹⁴ Ω·cm, ensuring robust electrical isolation.

H07V-R: Oil-resistant PVC insulation with the same thickness as H07V-U but formulated with nitrile rubber additives to resist degradation from mineral oils, animal fats, and vegetable oils. It retains ≥80% of its tensile strength after 168 hours of immersion in IRM 903 oil at 70°C (per EN 50363-2-1).

Both insulation types operate in a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C continuously, with short-term tolerance up to 105°C (e.g., during equipment faults). They also meet IEC 60332-1-2 flame retardancy standards, self-extinguishing within 60 seconds of removing an ignition source without dripping flaming particles.

Mechanical Dimensions:

Outer Diameter (OD): Varies by 规格，from 2.2mm (0.5mm²) to 6.8mm (10mm²), allowing easy routing through tight spaces in heating appliances.

Minimum Bending Radius: 4× OD for fixed installations and 6× OD for dynamic applications (e.g., movable heating elements), ensuring flexibility during installation.

1.2 Material Composition and Structural Design

The materials selected for H07V-U and H07V-R cables are optimized for performance, safety, and durability in heating environments.

Copper Conductors:

The conductors are made from high-purity electrolytic copper, chosen for its exceptional conductivity and ductility. The copper undergoes a rigorous purification process to reduce impurities (e.g., oxygen, sulfur) to below 0.005%, minimizing resistance and preventing embrittlement at high temperatures. After drawing to the required strand diameter, the copper is annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 400–500°C to relieve internal stresses, enhancing flexibility for stranding.

PVC Insulation Formulations:

H07V-U Base Formula:

Polyvinyl chloride resin (65–70% by weight): Provides structural rigidity.

Phthalate plasticizers (20–25%): Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) enhances flexibility, ensuring the insulation remains pliable at -25°C.

Calcium-zinc stabilizers (3–5%): Replace lead-based stabilizers to meet RoHS compliance, preventing thermal degradation at 70°C.

Flame retardants (5–8%): Antimony trioxide and aluminum hydroxide suppress combustion.

H07V-R Oil-Resistant Formula:

PVC resin (55–60%): Blended with nitrile rubber (10–15%) to improve oil resistance.

Adipate plasticizers (15–20%): Replace phthalates for better compatibility with oils.

Additional antioxidants (2–3%): Hindered phenols slow oxidative aging in oil-exposed environments.

The insulation is extruded in a single layer directly onto the stranded conductor, forming a tight bond that prevents moisture ingress—a critical feature in humid heating environments (e.g., saunas, steam rooms).

Color Coding:

Insulation colors follow EN 60446 standards for easy identification:

Black: Phase conductor (L)

Gray: Neutral conductor (N)

Green/yellow: Grounding conductor (PE) (available as an option for all 规格)

This standardized coloring simplifies installation and reduces the risk of misconnection in heating systems.

1.4 Manufacturing Process

The production of H07V-U and H07V-R cables adheres to strict quality controls to ensure consistency and compliance with EN standards:

Copper Strand Production:

Drawing: Copper rods (8mm diameter) are drawn through diamond dies to form strands of the required diameter (0.20mm–0.50mm). This cold-drawing process increases tensile strength to 300–350 MPa.

Annealing: Strands are heated in a nitrogen-fired furnace at 400–500°C to reduce tensile strength to 200–250 MPa, improving ductility for stranding.

Stranding:

Strands are twisted using planetary stranding machines at speeds of 300–500 rpm. The lay length (distance between twists) is set to 10–15× the strand diameter to ensure uniform distribution and minimize signal loss. For 规格 with 49–50 strands, a concentric stranding pattern is used, with inner layers twisted in one direction and outer layers in the opposite direction to enhance stability.

Insulation Extrusion:

Material Preparation: PVC compounds are mixed in a high-speed mixer (1000 rpm) to blend resins, plasticizers, and additives, then cooled to 40°C to prevent premature curing.

Extrusion: The stranded conductor is fed into an extrusion line where molten PVC (160–190°C) is applied via a crosshead die. The die is precision-machined to maintain uniform insulation thickness, with a tolerance of ±0.05mm.

Cooling: The Insulated Conductor passes through a water bath (20–25°C) to solidify the PVC, ensuring dimensional stability.

Quality Testing:

Each batch undergoes rigorous testing:

Electrical Tests: Insulation resistance (≥100 MΩ·km at 20°C) and voltage withstand (2500V AC for 5 minutes).

Mechanical Tests: Tensile strength (≥12MPa) and elongation at break (≥150%) of insulation.

Flame Tests: Vertical burning per IEC 60332-1-2, with samples mounted at 45° and ignited for 60 seconds.

Oil Resistance (H07V-R only): Immersion in IRM 903 oil at 70°C for 168 hours, with insulation checked for cracking or swelling.

Spooling:

Cables are spooled onto plastic reels (50m, 100m, or 500m lengths) with steel cores to prevent warping. Each reel is labeled with 规格，length, batch number, and compliance marks (CE, EN 50525).

2. General Product Information

2.1 Packaging

Packaging is designed to protect cables during storage, transportation, and handling, with options tailored to order size:

Retail/Small Orders (50m–100m): Cables are wound onto lightweight plastic reels (300mm diameter) with a built-in handle for easy unwinding. Each reel is shrink-wrapped in clear polyethylene to shield against dust and moisture, with a label detailing 规格，current rating, and safety warnings.

Bulk Orders (500m+): Larger reels (600mm diameter) made from recycled cardboard are used, with a steel core for structural support. These reels are stacked on wooden pallets (1200×800mm) with up to 10 reels per pallet, secured with polyester strapping (breaking strength ≥1500kg). Pallets are wrapped in black stretch film (20μm thickness) to prevent shifting during transit.

Export Packaging: For international shipments, reels are placed in seaworthy plywood crates lined with moisture-absorbing desiccants (1kg per 100m cable). Crates are marked with handling symbols (“This Side Up,” “Keep Dry”) and include a packing list with 规格 breakdowns.

2.2 Transportation and Handling

Proper transportation and handling are critical to maintaining cable integrity:

Loading/Unloading: Reels must be lifted using forklifts with padded tines or cranes with slings positioned around the reel core. Lifting by the flanges is prohibited, as this can damage the reel and compress the cable.

Transport: Cables should be transported in covered vehicles to avoid UV exposure, which can degrade PVC over time. For long-distance road transport, reels are secured with ratchet straps (≥2000kg strength) to prevent rolling. Sea freight requires containers with a relative humidity ≤60% to avoid condensation.

Storage: Cables must be stored in a dry, ventilated warehouse with temperatures between 5°C and 30°C. Reels are stored horizontally on racks (not stacked) to prevent warping, and away from heat sources (e.g., radiators) or chemicals (e.g., solvents) that could degrade insulation.

On-Site Handling: During installation, cables should be unwound from reels using a spindle to avoid twisting. Pulling cables through conduits or tight spaces should be done at a maximum speed of 1m/s to minimize friction-induced heat, which could soften the insulation.
