Tri-Rated Flexible PVC Equipment Wire
Application:
High temperature, flame retardant wire designed for use in the switch control, relay and instrumentation panels of power switch-
gear and for purposes such as internal connectors in rectifier equipment, motor starters and controllers. Tri-rated wire is some-
times referred to as BS 6231 cable, H07V2-K or panel wire.
Cable Standards:
Made in accordance with the following:
BS EN 50525-2-31* BS 6231 Type CK, UL Subj.758, CSA C22.2 No. 210 (HD 21.7 S2) #LL246095,
BS EN/IEC 60332

Note
*BS EN 50525-2-31 covers harmonised conductor sizes up to 35mm
2
, wires above this size are generally to the specification.
Where it is intended to connect wires contained within this datasheet to equipment or accessories confirmation should be
obtained to ensure that they are capable of withstanding the operating temperature of the wire.
