Description:
• 2-2-2-4 Aluminum Mobile Home Feeder wire is widely used for service entrance power supply to mobile home units. Its assembly comprises of four conductors, two of which are the phase conductors, one neutral wire and a grounding wire. The phase conductors and the neutral wire are 2 AWG in size while the grounding wire is of 4 AWG size. Each of the conductors is individually insulated using cross-linked polyethylene and differently color identification.The cable is rated 600 volts at 90°C in dry and wet environments. In addition it has an ampacity rating of 100 amps for direct burial.
Conductor:
• Compact stranded AA-8000 series Aluminum Alloy Class B stranding per ASTM B800 & B801
Insulation:
• Cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation.
Applications:
• 2-2-2-4 URD wire is designed for use as service entrance cable which means that it can supply electricity from the main power source like the transformer to the meters of consumer buildings, mobile homes and portable devices. The many sub-categories of this cable provide usability in many circuits that do not exceed a voltage rating of 600 volts.
Approvals and Certifications:
• Types RHH and RHW-2 are in accordance with UL 44
• Type USE-2 is in accordance with UL 854
• ICEA S-105-692: 600V Single layer thermoset insulated utility underground distribution cable
• UL854: Service Entrance Cables
• RUS accepted

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Is the 2-2-2-4 MHF cable color coded?
This is an underground 2-2-2-4 Mobile Home Feeder Cable which is intended to serve as a service entrance. URD 2-2-2-4 Feeder Cable is a type quadruplex aluminum that is made of four compacted aluminum AA-8000 series conductors. The three conductors are black color coded for identification; whereas the neutral wire is green. The coloring of electrical cables is essential especially during installation where accuracy is needed. Besides, it will give you an easy time to spot and differentiate between the neutral wire and the live conductors. Aluminum URD Mobile House Feeder Cable is a choice cable that is color-coded and easy to install.

Would the 2/2/2/4 mhf run a 100 amp or 60 amp subpanel in a barn 280' away from my house panel which would be fed off either a 100 or 60 amp breaker?
Yes, The 2-2-2-4 MHF cable has an ampacity of 100 amps and is available in lengths of between 10 ft. up to 1000 ft. So it can handle both 100 and 60 amps. It can support service entrance applications in residential homes as long as the voltage does not exceed 600 volts and the temperature does not exceed 90°C.
