Can this wire be used inside tube amp, H07V-K 1.5mm2?

Hello,

I make tube guitar amps and purchase wires from abroad.

I found these wires used mainly for electricity applications in my country and wondered if anyone has used or can give me some insight about using or not using them.

Specs can be seen on the,
H07V-K 1.5mm2 line, in the document.

They are bare copper wires (not tinned) rated 450-750V and 70 degrees centigrate ins. with PVC.

They are composed of 30 individual wires. They are said to comply with HD 21.3.S3.

Thanks from now.

Looks fine to me, but don't let them get much over 70 degrees.

Thank you for your answer.

Anyone haven't used any of these in amps? They are used for normal electricity purposes (inside light sockets, inside house electricity installments and so.)

Away from 70c degree limit stranded bare copper is bare copper I think. However do you know any difference between audio cables to electricity type of cables?

Inside the chassis of an tube amp, especially a guitar amp, will get extremely hot after a several hours of use. A PVC rating of only 70C will not suffice. It should be rated at least 105C. I use Mil spec wire rated 600V @ 105C. The best way to go is Teflon.
