This is a triplex underground residential distribution (URD) cable rated for 600V. It has two 1/0 AWG aluminum phase conductors and one 2 AWG aluminum neutral. It is designed for single-phase secondary power distribution in underground electrical systems and can be direct buried or installed in ducts.
The conductors are aluminum, and the insulation is black cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). The insulation is water tight and resists corrosive substances, oil, heat and flame. The cable is moisture-resistant and heat-resistant, and it is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 90°C in wet and dry environments.
Typical uses include single-phase service drops from transformers to buildings and power to service meters in residential and rural areas. It also serves small commercial buildings, municipal facilities, single-family homes, small multi-unit residences, street lighting, and residential solar and battery storage connections. It can also supply temporary power for construction, events and backups.
