Specification

2-2-2-4 Dyke Quadruplex Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD

Allowable Ampacity for 2-2-2-4 Dyke Quadruplex Aluminum Conductor 600V URD direct burial: 155 Amps

Allowable Ampacity for 2-2-2-4 Dyke Quadruplex Aluminum Conductor 600V URD in duct: 115 Amps

Applications:

The aluminum 600V URD is designed to serve in the secondary distribution circuits for power. In these secondary circuits, the electrical cable is installed in ducts or direct burial applications. Due to its versatility, conductor strength, and insulation integrity, it works well for these outdoor applications. It is also used in wet and dry places since the cable has a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. The electrical cable is also designed to provide an option of pre-pulling into ducts.

Construction

Conductors:

Aluminum conductor used for this cable is either a concentric strand or compressed 1350-H19 series aluminum conductor. The conductors are cabled together, with surface printing for identification. The neutral conductor has a yellow stripe. 

Insulation:

Versatile insulation system made of cross-linked black polyethylene material helps to secure the cable conductors. This insulation is water-tight, repulsive to corrosive substances, resistant to oil, heat, and flame. Cross-linking polyethylene helps to achieve an excellent strength that makes the material suitable for covering this cable used in harsh conditions like direct burial installation.
