Description:
• 4-4-4-6 Aluminum SER cable is used to carry electricity from the service drop to the meter base and from the meter base to the distribution panel board. This cable is on the smaller side of the spectrum of aluminum SER cable. This version of cable is not suitable to supply power to a dwelling, but is useful in powering large appliances and motors requiring less than 75 amps. Its most common use if to power small one-man work shops or workstations that require their own power supply from the service drop. The cable offers a temperature rating of 55 amps at 60°C, 65 amps at 75°C, and 75 amps at 90°C.

• #4 Service Entrance cable is constructed with three 4 Gauge Alumaflex AA-8000 series aluminum alloy compact stranded phase conductors and one 6 Gauge neutral ground conductor constructed with the same Alumaflex material. Each phase conductor is insulated in thermoplastic Type XHHW-2 Tray Cable or Type THHN/THWN conductors are available options for this cable. Conductors are encased in a polyvinyl chloride jacket to protect from heat and sunlight damage. Type SE has also proven to be able to function well in excessively dry or moist climates.

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.
