H05BZ5-F and H07BZ5-F cables

Charging electric vehicles is not universal, with domestic charging units mostly running on an AC charge whilst the public fast-charge units use DC charge. The H05BZ5-F cable and H07BZ5-F cable are both EV AC charging cables, manufactured in accordance with the harmonised European standard EN 50620. 

H05BZ5-F & H07BZ5-F Cable voltages

Standard IEC/EN 61851-1 prescribes the charging modes the cables are suitable for. The H05BZ5-F cable, with it's conductors up to 2.5mm² fulfils the criteria for AC domestic charging units for electric vehicles - classified as Mode 1. H05Z5-F cables have a rated voltage of 300/500V, suitable for single-phase current circuits. The H07BZ5-F cables, covered under the harmonised standard to a cross-sectional area size of 35mm2, are suitable for 'Mode 2' AC charging units up to 22kW and 'Mode 3' AC charging to 43kW. H07BZ5-F cables offer three-phase current charging as the larger conductor sizes have a higher voltage rating of 450/750V.  

These multicore cables all have rubber insulated flexible copper conductors, laid up alongside control (CC) and pilot (CP) cores of 0.5mm² and 1.0mm² for communication, all sheathed in a halogen-free Polyurethane. PUR is a hard-wearing, tear resistant material with good resistance to oils and greases. It is suitable for permanent external installation. 

H05BZ5-F & H07BZ5-F Cable Datasheets

The H05BZ5-F and H07BZ5-F cables are part of Eland Cables' EV portfolio, offering an end-to-end, grid to car solution for electric vehicle charging. The attached datasheets will provide dimensional information and electrical characteristics to support specification and cable sizing.

Where an AC max voltage of 0.6/1kV is required, the Eland EV Charging cable should also be considered (also suitable for DC charge to 1.8kV). Our Mode 4 EV charge cable may also be appropriate for your installations. For more information and to discuss your project with one of our EV industry experts, please get in touch.
