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. Voltage rating is 600 volts.

CONSTRUCTION

Type SE cable is constructed with aluminum alloy, compacted stranded conductors. The conductors are covered with a sunlight resistant Type XHHW-2 or Type THHN/THWN-2-insulation. A reinforcement tape is wrapped around the conductors for added strength and conformity. A gray sunlight-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer jacket covers the entire assembly. Style SEU cable has two phase conductors surrounded by a concentric neutral while the SER style has two, three or four phase conductors and a bare neutral.

Style SER Cable’s phase conductors are identified by a colored stripe on the insulation. 3 conductor – Black and Black with Red Stripe

4conductor – Black, Black with White Stripe and Black with Red Stripe

5conductor – Black, Black with White Stripe, Black with Red Stripe and Black with Blue Stripe

Type SE cable is constructed with sunlight resistant Type XHHW- 2 conductors or Type THHN/THWN conductors. Copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper. 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).

Table values reflect XHHW-2 conductors. Allowable ampacities shown are for general use as specified by the National Electrical Code, Section 310.15. 60°C - When terminated to equipment for circuits rated 100 amperes or less or marked for 14 through 1 AWG conductors. See NEC Article 338.10 (B)(4). 75°C - When terminated to equipment for circuits rated 100 amperes or marked for conductors larger than 1 AWG conductors. May not apply, see NEC Article 338.10 (B)(4). 90°C - Wet or dry locations. For ampacity de-rating purposes. Dwelling - For units, conductors shall be permitted at listed ampacities as 120/240-volt, 3-wire, single-phase services and feeders per NEC Article 310.15. *For compact-stranded construction, the number of wires, as permitted by UL Standard 854 and ASTMB-801 may be reduced as follows: 19-wire constructions - 18 wires minimum.
