2/4 MC Cable – Four-Conductor 2 AWG Metal Clad Cable for 3-Phase + Neutral Power Distribution
2/4 MC Cable includes four insulated 2 AWG copper conductors and a ground wire, all encased in a robust interlocked aluminum armor. It is ideal for three-phase systems that require a neutral wire, such as commercial lighting and panel feeders.
Common Applications for 2/4 MC Cable
- Three-phase + neutral panel feeds
- Commercial building branch circuits
- Large HVAC and motor loads with control circuits
- High-capacity lighting systems
- Utility rooms and distribution hubs
Benefits of 2/4 MC Cable
- Supports Neutral Wiring: 4 conductors allow for both 3-phase and 120V loads
- Durable Construction: Armor protects conductors in demanding environments
- Fast Installation: No conduit needed in dry locations, saving time and labor
- Reliable Current Carrying: Large gauge copper minimizes voltage drop
FAQs
Q: What is the difference between 2/3 and 2/4 MC Cable?
A: 2/3 includes three phase wires and a ground, while 2/4 adds a neutral conductor for 120/208V circuits.
Q: Is 2/4 MC Cable suitable for subpanel feeds?
A: Yes, especially for panels requiring a separate neutral.
Q: Can I run 2/4 MC Cable outdoors?
A: Not unless it's rated for outdoor use or has additional protection like a PVC jacket (MC-HL).
