FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

How does NSHXÖU differ from standard NSSHÖU under DIN VDE 0250-812?
Both cables share the same 0.6/1 kV rating, Class 5 tinned copper conductors, 3GI3 EPR core insulation and heavy dual-sheath construction under DIN VDE 0250-812. While NSSHÖU uses a chlorinated 5GM5 polychloroprene outer sheath, NSHXÖU replaces the bedding and outer jacket with a halogen-free HX elastomer compound that meets IEC 60754-2 (zero halogen acid gas) and IEC 61034-2 (low smoke) while retaining full EN 60811-404 oil resistance.
What do the suffixes -J and -O mean on NSHXÖU?
In German VDE cable nomenclature, NSHXÖU-J includes a green-yellow protective earth conductor (e.g. 4G25 has 3 phase cores + 1 GN/YE core), whereas NSHXÖU-O is manufactured without a green-yellow conductor (used on single-core leads or 2-, 3- and 4-core live circuits).
Why does NSHXÖU use tinned copper conductors as standard?
Fine-stranded Class 5 tinned copper conductors prevent sulphide and moisture corrosion in humid underground mines, tunnel boring shafts and coastal industrial plants, ensuring low contact resistance at lugged terminations.
How does NSHXÖU compare with H07ZZ-F?
H07ZZ-F is a 450/750 V single-sheath LSZH rubber cable to EN 50525-3-21 for oil-free public buildings. NSHXÖU is a 0.6/1 kV extra-heavy-duty dual-sheath mining and industrial cable to DIN VDE 0250-812 whose HX jacket is both halogen-free AND mineral-oil resistant (‘Ö’).
