This is a quadruplex underground residential distribution (URD) cable with four aluminum conductors: three 1/0 conductors and a 2 AWG neutral. It is rated 600V and made for secondary power distribution in underground electrical systems. It can be direct buried or installed in ducts.
The conductors are concentric-strand or compressed 1350-H19 series aluminum. They are cabled together with surface printing for identification, and the neutral has a yellow stripe. The insulation is black cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). It is watertight and resists corrosive substances, oil, heat and flame.
The cable operates at up to 90°C in wet and dry locations. It supports low to medium-load three-phase secondary distribution. Uses include service meters in residential subdivisions and rural networks, small commercial buildings, municipal facilities, townhouses, manufactured home communities, underground vaults and secondary power panels. It also connects small renewable energy systems to the grid and supplies temporary power on construction sites and for backup systems.
