The Pratt 250-250-3/0 is a triplex aluminum URD cable rated for 600V. It is designed for single-phase secondary power distribution in underground electrical systems, including service drops from transformers to buildings. It can be direct buried or installed in duct.
The triplex configuration has two phase conductors and one neutral. All three conductors are aluminum. They are insulated with black cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), which is watertight and resistant to corrosive substances, oil, heat and flame. The cable is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 90°C in wet and dry environments.
Typical uses include service meters in residential and rural areas, farms and irrigation, homes, small apartments and mobile parks, street lighting and municipal distribution, residential solar and battery storage connections, and temporary power for construction, events and backup.
