Our take on the 2-2-2-4 Copper SER Service Entrance Cable

This is copper SER service entrance cable: two 2 AWG insulated conductors, two 2 AWG conductors, and a 4 AWG ground, with reinforcement tape and a 600 V rating. It is rated 95 A at 60°C, 115 A at 75°C and 130 A at 90°C, so the ampacity depends on the termination temperature you use. It is built for dry locations only, typically running from the service drop to the meter base and on to the panelboard, or feeding a subpanel or a large appliance. Buyers rate it highly, and its main trade-off against aluminum SER is copper's higher conductivity and cost, plus the fact that it cannot go outdoors or in wet spots.

About the 2-2-2-4 Copper SER Service Entrance Cable

This is a 2-2-2-4 copper SER service entrance cable with a reinforcement tape. It is used wherever service entrance cable is allowed. Most often it connects the service drop to the meter base and the meter base to the distribution panelboard.

It has four conductors: three 2 AWG phase (hot) conductors and one 4 AWG bare neutral. The conductors are annealed soft copper with XHHW-2 cross-linked polyethylene insulation. The jacket is gray, sunlight-resistant PVC that resists corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and mechanical impact.

The 2-2-2-4 size carries up to 130 amps. It is commonly used for main panel feeds in residential and light commercial buildings, subpanel feeds in homes, garages and small offices, and power from meter bases to panelboards. It also feeds large appliances such as HVAC systems and electric water heaters.

Questions and answers

Can this cable be used outdoors or underground?
No. SER is rated for dry locations only, at temperatures up to 90°C. For wet or buried runs, use a cable rated for those conditions.
How many amps can 2-2-2-4 copper SER carry?
95 A at 60°C, 115 A at 75°C and 130 A at 90°C. The ampacity you can use depends on the temperature rating of your terminations and breakers.
What is the 4 AWG conductor for?
It is the equipment ground. The two 2 AWG pairs are the current-carrying conductors.
Is this the same as 2-2-2-4 aluminum SER?
No. This is copper, which conducts better and is stiffer and heavier than aluminum. Check that your lugs and terminations are rated for the conductor you use.
What voltage is it rated for?
600 volts.
What is it typically used for?
Service drop to meter base, meter base to panelboard, subpanel feeds, and large appliances such as HVAC systems and water heaters.
