What is 60227 IEC 43 cable?

60227 IEC 43: single-core cord for indoor decorative lighting chains, 300/300 V. Rating: 300/300 V; 1 core, class 6, 0.5 and 0.75 mm2; two PVC/D insulation layers, the outer of a contrasting colour (preferably green); 70 C (IEC 60227-5 cl. 4, Table 3). Standard: IEC 60227-5 (clause 4).

IEC 60227-5 (standard): 300/300 V; one class 6 conductor; PVC/D insulation in two layers applied by dual extrusion, the outer adhering to the inner and of a contrasting colour, preferably green; Table 3: each layer at least 0.2 mm, overall at least 0.6 mm and 0.7 mm mean, mean overall diameter 2.3 to 2.7 mm (0.5 mm2) and 2.4 to 2.9 (0.75); a 240 h d.c. test at 220 V in salt water at 60 C (4.4.2); 70 C in normal use (4.5). This settles the makers' disagreement below: EN-JV's single-core decorative lighting cord is the standard's, Helukabel's row beside H 03VV-F is not (that light sheathed cord is 52). Drawn as one core with one insulation layer. Makers: The two library sources disagree. EN-JV p.28 (manufacturer): 60227IEC43, SVR, 'Flexible wire for indoor decorative lighting circuit', 1 core 0.5-0.75 mm2, and 60227IEC52 for the light PVC sheathed RVV. Helukabel p.12 prints 227 IEC 43 in the row of H 03VV-F / H 03VVH2-F (300/300 V, HD 21.5 S3). Drawn as EN-JV's single core. Code designation (IEC 60227-1:2007 Annex A, p. 20): the first numeral is the basic class (0 non-sheathed for fixed wiring, 1 sheathed for fixed wiring, 4 non-sheathed light duty flexible, 5 sheathed normal duty flexible, 7 sheathed special duty flexible), the second the type within the class, so the number is read whole. The old spelling drops the 60 ('227 IEC 53' = '60227 IEC 53', IEC renumbering); Helukabel's table prints 227 / 245, EN-JV and Top Cable 60227.
