Standards & References
Southwire Type SE cable complies with the following:
- ASTM B800 and either B801 or B836 (SIW)
- UL Standard 44 for XHHW-2
- UL Standard 83 for THHN/THWN-2
- Federal Specification A-A-59544
- National Electrical Code, NFPA 70
- RoHS/Reach Compliant
Construction
"Southwire Type SE cable is constructed with Alumaflex® AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compacted stranded conductors. The conductors are covered with a sunlight resistant Type XHHW-2 or Type THHN/THWN-2-insulation. A reinforcement tape is wrapped around the conductors for added strength and conformity. A gray sunlight-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer jacket covers the entire assembly. Style SEU cable has two phase conductors surrounded by a concentric neutral while the SER style has two, three or four phase conductors and a bare neutral. Southwire Style SER Cable’s phase conductors are identified by a colored stripe on the insulation:
- 3 conductor – Black and Black with Red Stripe
- 4 conductor – Black, Black with White Stripe and Black with Red Stripe
- 5 conductor – Black, Black with White Stripe, Black with Red Stripe and Black with Blue Stripe
