  • Our take on the 2-2-2 Ramapo Aluminum Triplex URD Direct Burial Cable

    This is a 2-2-2 triplex URD cable: three 2 AWG compressed-strand aluminum conductors twisted together, each insulated with black XLPE. It is built for underground secondary distribution circuits, rated 600V, with 160 A ampacity in direct burial and 120 A in duct at 90°C. The aluminum conductors keep it lighter and easier to handle than equivalent copper triplex, but they need antioxidant-treated terminations and don't flex as willingly as copper. It suits service upgrades, sub-panel feeds, outbuilding runs and utility secondary work where direct burial is allowed.

    Questions and answers

    Can this cable be buried directly in the ground?
    Yes. It is a URD direct-burial cable, rated 160 A at 90°C when buried directly and 120 A when run in duct. Follow local code for burial depth and protection.
    What size breaker does 2-2-2 triplex support?
    The cable's direct-burial ampacity is 160 A at 90°C, but the breaker size is set by code, the load and the termination ratings. Many installs use it for 100 A or 125 A service feeds; confirm with your electrician or inspector.
    Is the neutral the same size as the hot conductors?
    Yes. All three conductors are 2 AWG, seven-strand compressed aluminum, so the neutral is full size.
    Can I use standard copper lugs on this aluminum cable?
    No. Use lugs and connectors listed for aluminum, and apply antioxidant compound to the stripped conductors. Retorque terminations as the manufacturer specifies.
    Is this cable rated for 600 volts?
    Yes. It is a 600V single-layer thermoset insulated underground distribution cable built to ICEA S-105-692 and UL 854.
    Can it be used indoors or in conduit?
    It is designed for underground secondary distribution and is rated 120 A in duct. Indoor use depends on local code and the cable's listing; check with your inspector before running it inside.
    Where is the 2-2-2 Ramapo Aluminum Triplex URD Direct Burial Cable cheapest?
