Power cable Bachmann 322.175, H07RN-F 3G1.50, 250 V 16 A, 3 m, black

Bachmann 322.175 is a 3 m mains lead with H07RN-F construction and a 3G1.50 mm² conductor cross-section. It is rated for 250 V and 16 A and comes in a flexible black neoprene jacket. One end features a moulded central plug with dual earthing contact system and splash-water protection; the opposite end is stripped to 30 mm and fitted with end sleeves for direct connection.

Advantages

The cable combines H07RN-F rubber insulation with flexible conductors to provide mechanical toughness and good bending properties for portable equipment. The moulded plug with dual earthing contact improves grounding reliability and the splash-water protected design increases safety in environments with occasional moisture. Stripped and sleeved conductors save time during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting portable appliances and equipment to mains sockets
• Temporary power for events, workshops, and light industrial applications
• Use where a flexible, durable neoprene mains lead is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for mains connections at up to 250 V and 16 A; it is not suitable for higher-voltage or higher-current applications. It is supplied with stripped and sleeved conductors rather than a fitted device connector, so it may not be suitable where a different factory-fitted appliance connector or a fully assembled plug-to-plug lead is required.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Conductor cross-section: 3 x 1.50 mm²
• Rated voltage: 250 V
• Rated current: 16 A
• Insulation type: H07RN-F (neoprene rubber)
• Colour: Black
• Plug: Moulded central plug with dual earthing contact; splash-water protected
• Other end: 30 mm stripped with end sleeves

How to use

Inspect the lead for visible damage before use. Insert the moulded plug into a compatible 250 V mains socket and secure any connected equipment according to its instructions. Connect the stripped and sleeved conductors to the device or terminal block following correct electrical wiring practices, ensuring the power is disconnected while making connections. Do not exceed the 16 A rating and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy mechanical strain or sharp bends.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and conductor size for your equipment
• Compatibility of the moulded plug with available mains sockets
• Whether a pre-fitted appliance connector is needed instead of a stripped end
• Environmental conditions (indoor use and occasional splash protection only)

Recommendations

Use the Bachmann 322.175 for portable equipment and temporary installations where a durable, flexible H07RN-F neoprene lead is needed. Ensure correct wiring of the stripped conductors and avoid overloading beyond 16 A to maintain safe operation.
