4/0 Beloit Single Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD

Allowable Ampacity for 4/0 Beloit Single Aluminum Conductor Underground Direct Burial 600V URD: 290 Amps

Applications:

This single aluminum conductor 600 V URD cable is designed for primary and secondary underground power distribution in utility, commercial, and industrial settings. It is suitable for direct burial or installation in ducts, making it an effective solution for wet and dry environments with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. Its high ampacity and durability make it ideal for substation connections, large commercial facilities, and renewable energy systems.

Specific Use Cases of 4/0 Single URD:

• Primary and secondary distribution lines for utility power grids
• Feeder cables for commercial and industrial facilities
• Substation feeder connections for power transmission networks
• Municipal underground power distribution for urban infrastructure
• Grounding and neutral conductor applications in electrical grids
• Renewable energy power transmission, supporting solar farms and wind farms
• Backup power supply for critical infrastructure like hospitals and data centers
• Temporary high-load power setups for construction 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.
