300 MCM Gonzaga Single Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD

Allowable Ampacity for 300 Gonzaga Single Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD: 355 Amps

Applications:

This single aluminum conductor 600V URD cable is used for primary and secondary underground power distribution in utility, commercial, and industrial environments. It is designed for direct burial or installation in ducts, ensuring efficient power delivery in wet and dry locations with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. Its high ampacity makes it ideal for substations, industrial complexes, and renewable energy infrastructure.

Specific Use Cases of 300 MCM Single URD:

• Primary and secondary utility distribution for power grids and substations
• Feeder connections for commercial and industrial facilities
• Underground power transmission in municipal and industrial networks
• Renewable energy applications, including solar and wind farms
• Grounding and neutral conductor applications in electrical systems
• Backup power systems for data centers, hospitals, and emergency facilities
• Temporary high-load power supply for large construction 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.
