Also Known As:

Type r cable, service entrance cable, ser cable, aluminum ser cable, aluminum service entrance cable, electrical entrance cable.

Conductors:

Aluminum type R cable has compact strand soft drawn 8000 series aluminum conductor, per ASTM B-801. The conductor is the electrode in the cable and is responsible for transmitting electric current. 

Insulation:

Aluminum SER cable has a type XHHW-2 cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. The conductors are cabled together with a bare aluminum ground and covered with reinforced binder tape. For color code, see table B in the technical section. 

Jacket:

The cable jacket used in its design is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The jacket protects the inner components of the cable from potentially damaging external forces. PVC is robust and resistant to oil, sunlight, water, flames, acids, chemicals, radiation, impact, abrasion, and weather changes. Sequential footage markings that help the user identify the appropriate length during installation are noted on the cable jacket.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • What is the ampacity of 6-6-6-6 Al SER Cable?

    6-6-6-6 Aluminum SER Cable has an allowable ampacity of 60 amperes. It can distribute 60 amperes at temperatures not exceeding 90°C.

  • Can I use Al SER Cable in a wall between meter box and panel without conduit?

    Yes, you can.

  • Does 2-2-2-4 Aluminum SER Cable suit 40’ away subpanel from the mains supply?

    Aluminum 2-2-2-4 Service Entrance Cable will effectively transmit power from mains supply to the subpanel 40’away. However, the power from the mains has to be stepped down first so it can’t be connected directly to the mains but via a step down transformer.

  • What wire to use between 200 amps electrical panel and a meter box, which type; SER or SEU?

    Any service entrance cable will work for meter box or panel, whether SER or SEU. On the amps; you need a power cable of at least 200 amperes current carrying capacity to deploy in your 200 Amps wiring system. There are lots of 200Amps power cables however, 2-0 Copper Cable and 4-0 Aluminum Cable should be considered for your power line. This is because they have high current carrying capacity and will conveniently distribute 200 amperes without overheating.

  • Is there a #2 copper wire in 4/0-4/0-4/0 Aluminum SER Cable?

    No. Aluminum 4/0-4/0-4/0 Service Entrance Cable conductor is made of type soft 8000 series of aluminum. Its grounding conductor is also designed with aluminum. Conventionally this cable is purely aluminum made and not copper.

  • Can 1-1-1-3 Aluminum Service Entrance Cable use conduits in underground transmission?

    1-1-1-3 Al SER Cable needs protection when installed through underground transmission method. For this reason, conduits can be used to route this cable as they offer additional protection from harsh environmental conditions.

    Electrical conduits are tubes or pipes used to channel and protect electrical wiring. These conduits are made of plastics, metals, fired clay or fiber. Conduits can be stiff and rigid or flexible. Flexible conduit system is normally desired for electrical wiring.

  • Can 2/3 Aluminum SER transmit 100 amperes?

    No, it cannot. 2-2-2 Aluminum SER Cable has a small carrying capacity of 75 amperes at an operating temperature of up to 90 0 C. This means that it is not suitable for connecting current lines with 100 amperes. Because it would exceed the carrying capacity of the cable leading to overheating and blows. Instead, use AL SER cables with high current capacity like; 2-2-2-4 Aluminum SER Cable, 1/0-1/0-1/0-2 Aluminum SER Cable.

  • Why is the ground 3/0 shouldn’t it be #4 AL?

    Aluminum Service Entrance Cable has one grounding conductor. However, AL SER is made of three or four aluminum conductors; and one grounding wire. A grounding wire is very important in power cables since it neutralizes the cable from electron build ups.
