Description:
• 2-2-2-4 is a construction of Aluminum SER cable. This version of the SER cable includes three 2-gauge Alumaflex AA-8000 series aluminum alloy compact stranded phase conductors and one 4-gauge neutral ground conductor constructed with the same material

• Per NEC standards, 2-2-2-4 Service Entrance cable is suitable for use in circuits up to 100 amps. This cable will not pass inspection for use on any circuit putting out greater amperage than 100 amps. 100 amps is the minimum service for a single-family dwelling and each service drop can only supply one set of service entrance cable unless wiring a multi-family home (duplex, triplex, etc.). This cable most suitable for use in residential applications. For larger tasks, see other Aluminum Service Entrance Cable. Larger gauges will carry more amperage to supply a greater load.

• Service entrance cable, which transmits secondary distribution from service drop to a building’s meter base and then to the main distribution panel. The cable is color coded with black ground conductors and a bare ground conductor. The outer jacket is constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is resistant to heat, corrosion, and sunlight.

Applications:
• Aluminum Service Entrance cable is employed at the point of transmission where secondary distribution is sent from the service drop into a residence or building.  The cable delivers energy to the meter base and then to the building’s distribution panel.  It can carry voltages up to 600 volts and function in temperatures up to 90°C.  SE should be used above ground.

Specifications:
• The XHHW-2 conductors meet or exceed UL 44 standard.
• Type THHN/THWN conductors meet or exceed UL Standard 83.
• Product meets Federal Specification A-A 59544 and meets specifications of NEC 1

Construction:
Conductors:
• The main conductors in the SE components are Type XHHW-2 or Type THHN/THWN conductors.  This product also contains compact stranded AlumaFlex™ AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductors.

Color Coding:
• Outer jacket is gray.  Conductors are colored black, while ground wires are bare.

Outer Jacket:
• A protective PVC jacket is applied over the conductors to further protect against heat, corrosion, and sunlight. 

Construction Options:
• 2 conductor cable which includes 2 phase conductors and a bare ground wire.
• 3 conductor cable with 2 phase conductors, a neutral conductor, and a bare ground wire.
• 4 conductor cable with 3 phase conductors, neutral conductor, and a bare ground wire.
