Which one do I choose?

H03VV-F or H05VV-F?

H03VV-F

  • 300/300 V
  • 0.5 and 0.75 mm²
  • lamps and small appliances

H05VV-F

  • 300/500 V
  • also 1 mm² and larger
  • washing machines and extension leads

H03VV-F is the light round PVC cord for 300/300 V, in 0.5 and 0.75 mm², for lamps, radios and small appliances that see little stress. H05VV-F is 300/500 V, also comes in 1 mm² and larger, and is made for medium duty, such as washing machines and extension leads. If 0.75 mm² is too small or the cord has a harder life, choose H05VV-F.

H03VV-F or H03Z1Z1-F?

H03VV-F

  • PVC

H03Z1Z1-F

  • halogen-free insulation and sheath

The same light class: 300/300 V, in 0.5 and 0.75 mm². H03VV-F is PVC. H03Z1Z1-F has halogen-free insulation and sheath that give off little smoke and no halogen acids in a fire. Choose H03Z1Z1-F for lamps and light appliances in public buildings where low smoke is required, and H03VV-F elsewhere.
