The Aluminum conductor USE-2 cables is designed for underground use in direct burial applications, or within an electrical raceway, typically conduit, for use in wet or dry locations.Compatible in direct burial applications from the transformer to the meter base.
Product Details
USE-2 Building Wire Aluminum
Description
USE-2 Building Wire Aluminum are insulated cables that consist of compact stranded Aluminum alloy. aluminum alloy provides excellent conductivity while adding strength and resistance to corrosion for a long-lasting product. This standard requires the cable to be resistant to sunlight and work efficiently in high temperatures. The cable is able to function in temperatures up to 90°C.
CONDUCTOR
Compact stranded AA-8000 series aluminum alloy (ACM) per ASTM B801 or B836
Application
The USE-2 Building Wire Aluminum cables is designed for underground use in direct burial applications, or within an electrical raceway, typically conduit, for use in wet or dry locations.Compatible in direct burial applications from the transformer to the meter base. The voltage rating for this cable is 600-Volt maximum. Single conductor 8000 Series Aluminum, insulated with chemically Cross-Linked Polyethylene.
Advantage
● Stranded AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductors
● Ideal for direct burial applications at conductor temperatures not to exceed 194˚F in either wet or dry locations
● Gasoline and oil resistant
● Polyethylene insulation for abrasion, moisture, heat and sunlight resistance
