    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Pertains to oil resistant polyvinyl chloride insulated and sheathed flexible cables.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard applies to oil resistant polyvinyl chloride insulated and sheathed flexible cables. Screened and non-screened types are included.

    The cables are of rated voltages U0/U 300/500 V.

    The cables are intended for the interconnection of manufacturing machines.

    The maximum conductor operating temperature for the cables in this standard is 70 °C.

    NOTE HD 516 contains extensive guidance on the safe use of cables in this standard.

    This EN 50525-2-51 should be read in conjunction with EN 50525-1, which specifies general requirements.
