UL 854 Service Entrance Cable
Aluminum/Copper Type SE, Style R/U SEU 4/0 4/0 2/0
APPLICATION
Type SE, service entrance cable is primarily used to convey power from the service drop to the meter base and from the meter base to the distribution panelboard; however, the cable may be used in all applications where Type SE cable is permitted. SER may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. The voltage rating is 600 volts.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Type SE cable is constructed with AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compact stranded conductors.
- Cross-linked polyethylene insulation rated for a maximum operating temperature of 90°C in wet and dry locations.
- Eco-friendly sunlight resistant, flame retardant and heavy metal-free Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket.
- Insulation and Jacket materials are in compliance with RoHS, Directive 2002/95/EC.
- Sequential foot markings for easier inventory control management.
STANDARDS & REFERENCES
Type SE cable complies with :
• ASTM- All applicable standards
• UL Standard 44 for XHHW-2 conductors
• UL Standard 83 for THHN/THWN conductors
• UL Standard 854
• Federal Specification A-A-59544
• National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 2011 Edition

CONSTRUCTION
Conductor: compact copper or AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compact stranded
Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) insulation with the property of heat.Moisture and abrasion resistance and flame retardant.
Sheath: sunlight resistant gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Type SE cable is constructed with sunlight resistant Type XHHW-2 conductors or Type THHN/THWN conductors.Cable assembly plus reinforcement tape are jacketed with sunlight resistant gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Available as 1 conductor with a concentric ground, 2 conductor with a round or concentric
ground, or 3 conductor with a bare ground. SE cable is jacketed with gray sunlight-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
