COPPER SERVICE ENTRANCE CONCENTRIC CABLE American Standard-SE SER SEU TYPE
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 panel board; 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.
Standard
• ASTM- All applicable standards
• UL Standard 44 for XHHW-2 conductors
• UL Standard 83 for THHN/THWN conductors
• UL Standard 854
• Federal Specification A-A-59544
• National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 2011 Edition
Construction
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).

ALUMINUM SERVICE ENTRANCE CONCENTRIC CABLE American Standard-SE SER SEU TYPE
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 panel board; 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.
Standard
• ASTM- B-800 and B-801
• UL Standard 83 for THHN/THWN-2
• UL Standard 44 for XHHW-2
• Federal Specification A-A-59544
• National Electrical Code/NFPA 70, 2011 Edition
• RoHS
Construction
Type SE cable is constructed with AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compact 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
4 conductor- Black, Black with White Stripe, and Black with Red Stripe
5 conductor- Black, Black with White Stripe, Black with Red Stripe and Black with Blue Stripe
