The Quadruplex URD Cable is a type of underground residential distribution cable designed for secondary power distribution. It consists of four conductors twisted together, typically three phase conductors and one neutral conductor. This 600V cable is suitable for direct burial or installation in ducts in both wet and dry locations.
Key Specifications & Construction
- Voltage: 600V.
- Conductor: The conductors are made from compressed concentric lay stranded 1350-H19 or AA-8000 aluminum alloy.
- Insulation: XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation provides high dielectric strength and is resistant to heat, ozone, oil, and chemicals. The insulation is black, with the neutral conductor distinguished by a yellow stripe or jacket.
- Configuration: Four insulated conductors are twisted together. A common configuration is 4/0-4/0-4/0-2/0, which includes three 4/0 AWG phase conductors and one 2/0 AWG neutral conductor.
- Standards: The cable complies with ICEA S-105-692 and UL 854 (USE-2) standards and is RUS accepted.
Technical Data
- Operating Temperature: C in wet or dry conditions.
- Installation: Rated for direct burial and resistant to sunlight.
- Ampacity: The cable has a direct burial ampacity of approximately 230 Amps for the 4/0 AWG phase conductor, though values vary based on installation conditions and local codes.
