APPLICATIONS
• For use in electrical distribution circuits not exceeding 600 volts phase to
phase
• Cables may be directly buried or installed in ducts
• May be used in wet or dry locations at conductor temperatures not exceeding
90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overloads and 250°C under
short circuit conditions
CONDUCTORS
• Hard drawn Class B stranded, compressed 1350 aluminum per ASTM B-231
CONDUCTOR INSULATION
• Phase conductors: Black cross-linked polyethylene
• Neutral conductor: Black crosslinked polyethylene with three continuous
stripes of weather resistant yellow low density polyethylene extruded into the
insulation 120° apart
ASSEMBLY
• Phase conductors and neutral are twisted together with a left-hand
lay not greater than 60 times the outside diameter of one phase
conductor
INDUSTRY STANDARDS
• ASTM B-230
• ASTM B-231
• ICEA S-105-692
• UL 854 Service Entrance Cables
SURFACE PRINT
• Sample: 4/0 AWG AL XLPE USE-2 600V (UL)
