What is tri-rated?

Tri-rated cable, also known as H05V2-K or H07V2-K cable, is a flexible single-core cable used for wiring in electrical control panels, power distribution boards, and other electrical applications. It is rated for use in European and British standard environments at voltages up to 600V.

The name "tri-rated" refers to the three different standards that the cable meets: British Standard (BS), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This means that tri-rated cable is suitable for use in both the UK and internationally, and has the necessary UL certification to be used in the United States.

Tri-rated cable has a high-temperature rating of 90°C, making it suitable for use in hot environments. It is also resistant to oil and abrasion, so it can be used in harsh conditions.

This type of cable is available in various sizes, ranging from 0.5mm² up to 240mm². The cable is manufactured with a copper conductor and a PVC insulation and sheath.

Overall, tri-rated cable is a versatile and reliable cable that is popular in a range of industries, including automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
