V75 Flexible Cords

V75 flexible cords are, as their name would suggest, a 75^oC cable with flexible stranded copper conductors, suitable as supply cords for equipment wiring and as panel wiring where wiring paths are challenging and tight. They are manufactured in accordance with Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 5000.1 for insulated cables with a rated voltage not exceeding 1kV.

These flexible cables are separated into three categories - V75 Light Duty, V75 Ordinary Duty, and V75 Heavy Duty. In all cases the cables should be installed internally, in dry conditions. Only the heavy duty cable is suitable for damp and wet conditions too. 

Voltage ratings differ according to the Duty material. Light Duty is 250/250V, Ordinary Duty is 250/400V, whilst Heavy Duty is 600/1000V. 

By using a flexible cord - in this case a V75 PVC sheathed one - it allows frequent flexing including at point of connection. This is important when the cord is attached to small portable appliances such as radios and lamps (light duty), office machinery, washing machines and dishwashers (ordinary duty), and small industrial and commercial equipment such as sweepers, motors and welders (heavy duty). The heavy Duty V75 cord is also specified as suitable for extension leads when the conductor sizing is greater than 1mm².
