- Can this cable be buried directly without conduit?
- Yes. MHF cable is rated for direct burial and outdoor use. Some local codes still require conduit for the portion above ground or under a driveway, so check with your inspector.
- Does the 100 A rating mean I can put it on a 100 A breaker?
- Not automatically. Aluminum 2 AWG ampacity depends on the terminations and the code edition your inspector applies. Have the run sized and protected by a licensed electrician.
- What size lugs and breaker does 2-2-2-4 aluminum need?
- Use aluminum-rated lugs sized for 2 AWG on the hots and neutral and 4 AWG on the ground, with antioxidant paste. The breaker size is set by the load calculation and local code, not by the cable alone.
- Is this the same as copper 2-2-2-4?
- No. Aluminum conducts less than copper at the same gauge, so ampacity and termination rules differ. Do not swap one for the other without recalculating.
- What is included in the box?
- One 125 ft length of 2-2-2-4 aluminum MHF cable. Lugs, paste and conduit are not included.
