Applications: Type SE, service entrance cable is used to convey power from the service drop to the meter base and from the meter base to the distribution panelboard; however, it may be used in all applications where Type SE cable is permitted. SE may be used in wet or dry above ground locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C. Voltage rating is 600 volts.

Specifications: Type SE cable meets or exceeds UL Standard 44 for type XHHW-2 conductors or UL Standard 83 for THHN/THWN conductors, UL Standard 854, Federal Specification A-A-59544, and requirements of the National Electrical Code 1.

Construction: Type SE cable is constructed with sunlight resistant Type XHHW-2 conductors or Type THHN/THWN conductors. Aluminum conductors are AlumaFlex TM AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compact stranded. Type SE, Style SER cable assembly plus reinforcement tape are jacketed with gray sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Available as 2 conductor (2 insulated phase conductors, bare ground), 3 conductor (2 insulated phase conductors, insulated neutral, bare equipment ground), or 4 conductor (3 insulated phase conductors, insulated neutral, bare equipment ground). Type SE, Style U Cable assembly plus an overall concentrically applied neutral and reinforcement tape are jacketed with gray sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
