FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between H05BZ5-F and H07BZ5-F in EN 50620?
H05BZ5-F is rated 300/500 V with thinner insulation/sheath walls and is restricted by EN 50620 to conductor sizes of 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² (up to 16–20 A, 3.7–11 kW), making it lighter and more compact for portable Mode 2 and home wallbox cables. H07BZ5-F is rated 450/750 V with heavier walls and covers 2.5 mm² up to 16 mm² (32 A / 63 A, 7.4 kW / 22 kW / 43 kW).
What do the material codes 'B' (EVI-2) and 'Z5' (EVM-1) mean in H05BZ5-F?
Defined in EN 50620, 'B' designates Type EVI-2 cross-linked halogen-free elastomeric core insulation (+90 °C), and 'Z5' designates Type EVM-1 halogen-free polyurethane (PUR) outer sheathing.
Why does H05BZ5-F include a 0.50 mm² or 0.75 mm² auxiliary core?
In Mode 2 and Mode 3 AC charging per IEC 61851-1, the EVSE and the vehicle onboard charger exchange a ±12 V 1 kHz PWM signal over the Control Pilot (CP) core to verify earth continuity, negotiate maximum charging current and energize the contactor only when the plug is latched.
Can H05BZ5-F be manufactured as a coiled (spiral) charging cable?
Yes. Because the outer sheath is elastic thermoplastic polyurethane (EVM-1 PUR), H05BZ5-F holds a permanent heat-set helical coil memory with excellent recoil down to -40 °C.
