These requirements cover Type USE and USE-2 (below-ground) and Type SE (above-ground) power cable 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 (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 sumersible pump cable to have a grounding conductor and for Type USE and USE-2 cables to have an insulated grounding conductor. Each insulated conductor in these cables is rated for 600V. Type USE cable has thermose insulation, except for HDPE portion of HDPE-over-XLPE insulation where used for single-conductor Type USE cable. Type USE cable has thermoset or thermoplatic insulation.

Rated Voltage: 600/1000V

Conductor: Solid or stranded copper conductor

Insulation: XLPE, PVC, PE

Neutral conductor:   coverage 100% and non-100% coverage
