27、N FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover Type USE and USE-2 (below-ground) and Type SE (above-ground) power cables for installation in accordance with Article 338 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC). These cables are for the service-entrance and other

28、(NEC) uses described in 1.4 1.8. In a multiple-conductor cable that is other than submersible-pump cable and does not have a grounding conductor it is appropriate to have one circuit conductor without insulation. It is also appropriate for a submersible pump cable to have a grounding conductor and f

29、or Type USE and USE-2 cables to have an insulated grounding conductor. Each insulated conductor in these cables is rated for 600 V. Type USE cable has thermoset insulation, except for the HDPE portion of HDPE-over-XL insulation where used for single-conductor Type USE cable. Type SE cable has thermo

30、set or thermoplastic insulation. 1.2 These cables have insulation of solid, extruded dielectric material(s) that are for use in wet locations at 75C (167F) and lower temperatures. Cables that are marked with a conductor type that includes the letters HH have insulation that is for use in dry locatio

31、ns at temperatures as high as 90C (194F) as well as in wet locations at 75C (167F) and lower temperatures. Cables that are marked with a conductor type that includes -2 have insulation that is for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures as high as 90C (194F). 1.3 Cables containing any conductor

32、that is of a metal other than copper are marked to identify the metal as aluminum or copper-clad aluminum. Aluminum single-rated (see 1.4) Type USE or USE-2 cables containing other than solid 12, 10 or 8 AWG conductor(s) are of an EC-1350 grade aluminum alloy or a registered AA-8000 series electrica

33、l-conductor-grade aluminum alloy. In all other cables, the aluminum conductor(s) are of a registered AA-8000 electrical-conductor-grade alloy only. 1.4 Single-rated Type USE cable is single-conductor, jacketed or coverless multiple-conductor, and submersible-pump cable without any indication of the

34、conductor type letters on type cable, on the individual conductor(s), or on the tag, reel, or carton. USE is the only type designation associated with the cable. See 40.4. 1.5 Type SE cables that are not marked with conductor type letters or are marked with conductor type letters alone ( XHHW , RHW

35、,o rRHH OR RHW not followed by cdrs or the like) have insulated conductors that do not comply with the Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables, UL 44, horizontal ame test. Type SE cables that are marked for use in cable trays comply with a 70,000 Btu/h (20.5 kW) vertical-tray ame test as described in S

36、ections41 1o ft h eStandard for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables, UL 1685 or the FT4/IEEE 1202 ame test as described in Sections 12 19 of UL 1685. Smoke measurements are not applicable. See 31.1. 1.6 The outer surface of each single- and m

37、ultiple-conductor cable that is marked for sunlight-resistance use and the outer surface of each Type SE cable that is marked for sunlight-resistance use in cable trays complies with a 720-h sunlight-resistance test. Each insulated conductor under an overall covering on such multiple-conductor cable

38、 complies with a 300-h sunlight-resistance test. All other cables are not marked sunlight resistant however comply with a 300-h or equivalent (see 30.4) sunlight-resistance test (each insulated conductor complies and, except in the case of submersible pump cable, any overall covering also complies).

39、 OCTOBER 19, 2004 SERVICE-ENTRANCE CABLES - UL 854 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 1.7 Type USE and USE-2 cables are single-conductor in sizes through 2000 kcmil or are at or round multiple-conductor in sizes through 4/0 AWG

40、 copper, 300 kcmil aluminum or copper-clad aluminum jacketed and through 2000 kcmil coverless. Type USE and USE-2 cables are not required to comply with a cable ame test. Jacketed multiple-conductor Type USE and USE-2 cables have15insulated conductors of the same size with or without an uninsulated

41、grounded conductor that, in some cases, is smaller than the insulated conductors. It is appropriate to include one insulated equipment-grounding conductor that is, in some cases, smaller than the circuit conductors in a cable with no uninsulated conductor. Coverless multiple-conductor Type USE and U

42、SE-2 cables have two or more (no limit) insulated conductors of the same size with or without a grounded conductor that bare (in round or at cable) or insulated (in round cable) and, in some cases, is smaller than the other conductors. Coverless multiple-conductor Type USE and USE-2 cables with a ba

43、re conductor are tag marked to restrict the cable to direct burial (no covering to protect the bare conductor during and after duct and pole installations). Single-conductor Type USE and USE-2 cables that are not larger than 4/0 AWG copper, 300 kcmil aluminum or copper-clad aluminum and multiple-con

44、ductor jacketed and coverless Type USE and USE-2 cables without an uninsulated or bare conductor are for use as Type USE or USE-2 and also are for use underground as Type UF cable would be used however are not marked UF . All single-conductor Type USE and USE-2 cables and the following multiple-cond

45、uctor Type USE and USE-2 cables are for direct-burial and underground-duct service-entrance uses and are eligible to be terminated on a utility pole where each conductor and any overall jacket are exposed to the weather and not subject to physical damage: a) Jacketed multiple-conductor Type USE and

46、USE-2 cables with or without an uninsulated conductor. b) Coverless multiple-conductor Type USE and USE-2 cables without a bare conductor. 1.8 Submersible-pump cable (four varieties are described in 19.1) is an assembly of single-conductor Type USE cables that are eligible to be individually surface

47、 marked pump cable . The assembly is not tested for sunlight resistance however each of its conductors is so tested and complies. Submersible-pump cable is at or round and is multiple-conductor in sizes through 4/0 AWG copper, 300 kcmil aluminum or copper-clad aluminum with all conductors insulated.

48、 It is appropriate for one conductor to be a grounding conductor that, in some cases, is smaller than the circuit conductors. All of the circuit conductors are of the same size. This cable has a tag marking stating that the cable is for use within well casings for wiring deep-well submersible water

49、pumps. Each conductor in a coverless, cabled assembly is surface marked as Type USE, and each conductor in any other pump-cable assembly is eligible to also be so marked. Assemblies other than those that are coverless are surface marked submersible pump cable . A coverless, cabled assembly without a grounding conductor is appropriate for use as Type USE and also appropriate for use underground as Type UF cable however it is not to be marked UF . All othe
