What is the H03RT-H Cable?
The H03RT-H is a flexible, harmonized code cable designed for low-voltage applications, primarily for connecting indoor household appliances. Its robust construction makes it resistant to ozone, oxygen, ultraviolet (UV) rays, and heat, ensuring durability in demanding environments. However, it is not suitable for outdoor use or for powering electrical tools, as its design prioritizes flexibility and safety for specific indoor applications.
Key Features of the H03RT-H Cable
Voltage Rating: 300/300 V, ideal for low-voltage household appliances.
Temperature Range: Operates reliably between -25°C and +60°C.
Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, type EI4, as per HD22.1 standards.
Conductor: Flexible bare or tinned copper strand conductor, compliant with DIN VDE 0295 Class 5 and IEC 60228 Class 5.
Construction: Includes a textile braid and yarn filler for added strength and flexibility.
Standards: Meets HD22.14 and RoHS compliance for environmental safety.
Harmonized Code and Standards
The "H" in H03RT-H stands for harmonized, indicating that the cable adheres to European standards for electrical wiring. Harmonized cables are designed to meet consistent technical specifications across multiple countries, ensuring safety and interoperability. The H03RT-H complies with the HD22.14 standard, which outlines requirements for rubber-insulated cables used in appliances.
Additionally, the cable is RoHS compliant, meaning it is free from hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium, aligning with global environmental regulations. The color coding of the H03RT-H follows VDE 0293-308, HD 308, and UNE 21089-1 standards, ensuring proper identification of conductors, especially in configurations with three or more conductors that include a yellow/green grounding wire.
Applications of the H03RT-H Cable
The H03RT-H cable is specifically designed for indoor household appliances, such as electric irons, saucepans, and other small electrical devices. Its flexibility and resistance to heat and environmental factors make it ideal for appliances that generate moderate heat or require frequent movement. However, it is not suitable for outdoor use or heavy-duty electrical tools, as its design prioritizes lightweight flexibility over ruggedness.
In South Africa, the H03RT-H cable is widely used in domestic settings and small-scale industrial applications. Its compliance with international standards ensures it meets the safety requirements of South African households and businesses.
