SPEC 10050

Copper Service Entrance (SEU) Cable Type SEU

Copper Service Entrance Cable, Type SEU Service Entrance Cable, 600 Volt. Individual Conductors Rated XHHW-2 or THHN/THWN. Jacket and Individual Conductors Sunlight Resistant.

...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
  2. Insulation:All phases are insulated with Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Type XHHW-2 or Polyvinyl Chloride with Nylon Sheath THHN/THWN
  3. Neutral:Insulated bare soft annealed neutral
  4. Binder:Reinforcement binder
  5. Jacket:Gray Polyvinyl Chloride PVC jacket. Sunlight resistant.

Applications and Features:

Southwire® Type SEU, 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. Voltage rating is 600 volts. SE cables are not permitted underground, with or without a raceway, per NEC 338.12(A)(2).
