Resources
Applications
8/2 UF-B Applications:

An underground feeder cable's prime purpose is to bring the power from the residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to outdoor constructions, which include pumps and lighting constructions. The electrical cable is suitable for direct burial, as well as direct exposure to the sunlight. It is permitted for use as a feeder or branch circuit cable if provided with overcurrent protection. Copper Underground Feeder Cable UF-B has a rating of 600 volts.


Common Applications:

Underground Feeding
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor Outlets
Direct Burial
Wet or Damp Locations
Pump Systems
HVAC Systems
Underground Branch Circuits
Indoor Applications Exposed to Moisture

Particular applications for size 8/2 UF-B:

240V Circuits Without Neutral: This is a common application for 8-2. Many larger electrical devices, like some types of water heaters or baseboard heaters, only require two hot wires and no neutral. The circuit is essentially a closed loop between the two hot wires.
120V Circuits: While it might seem overkill for most 120V applications due to the wire's thickness (8 gauge), there are situations, particularly with longer distances, where voltage drop becomes a concern, and a thicker wire is beneficial.

Ordered 300' of 8/2 UF-B

Great service - great prices - fast delivery - and using the little spool the wire came on as a side table in the garage! Thank you!
