A: YH and YHF are Chinese standard welding cables complying with GB/T 5013.6. YH uses SE3 natural rubber, YHF uses oil-resistant SE4 chloroprene elastomer, max working temperature 65°C.
Q: What is the main difference between YH and YHF?
A: YH SE3 rubber is for common indoor welding, not oil resistant. YHF SE4 compound features good oil, ozone and weather resistance, fit for shipyards and oily environments.
Q: What is the difference between YH and H01N2-D?
A: Different standards and covering materials. YH follows GB/T5013.6 with SE3 rubber, max 65°C. H01N2-D complies with EN 50525-2-81, EM5 CSP elastomer covering, rated 85°C, better tear, abrasion and welding spatter resistance for European markets.
Q: What is the conductor difference?
A: YH/YHF adopt GB/T3956 Class5 / optional Class6 copper conductor. H01N2-D uses special Class D conductor defined in EN50525-2-81 for welding cable.
Q: Can YH replace H01N2-D for European projects?
A: No. EU projects requiring EN50525 / HAR / VDE certification must use H01N2-D. YH is GB standard cable and cannot meet European standard requirements.
Q: Which cable has higher temperature rating?
A: H01N2-D with EM5 covering reaches max continuous working temperature 85°C, higher than YH/YHF 65°C.
