1 Kenyon Single Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD

Allowable Ampacity for 1 Kenyon Single Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD: 175 Amps

Applications:

This single aluminum conductor URD cable is used for primary and secondary underground power distribution in utility, commercial, and industrial settings. It is designed for direct burial or installation in ducts, making it suitable for wet and dry environments with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. The electrical cable is also designed to provide an option of pre-pulling into ducts.

Specific Use Cases of 1 Single URD:

• Primary and secondary underground power distribution
• Transformer and substation connections for high-load applications
• Municipal underground power systems in urban infrastructure
• Grounding and neutral conductors in electrical grids and substations
• Power supply for commercial and industrial buildings
• Renewable energy transmission in solar and wind farms
• Backup power infrastructure for data centers, hospitals, and emergency systems
• Temporary power setups for construction sites and industrial projects

Construction

Conductors:

This is an aluminum conductor cable. The conductor is designed in two forms: either concentric strand or compressed. The stranded type tends to be more flexible compared to the compressed series of aluminum conductors. The 1350-H19 series of compressed aluminum conductors are suitable for applications where flexibility is overlooked and cable rigidity is guaranteed.

Insulation:

Aluminum 600V URD cable has black resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. The conductors are normally cabled together with XLP insulated aluminum ground or bare copper ground and covered with reinforced binder tape. XLP insulation is tough and resistant to impact, abrasion, chemicals, acids, oils, industrial solvents, and changes in weather.
