FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between 600 V SEOOW and 300 V SJEOOW?
SEOOW omits the 'J' (Junior Service), upgrading the voltage rating from 300 V to 600 V AC, increasing both the TPE insulation wall (to 45–60 mil on ≥14 AWG) and TPE outer jacket wall (to 80–120 mil), and extending the conductor size range up to 2 AWG (95 A) for Extra-Hard-Usage industrial service.
How does SEOOW (TPE) compare with SOOW (thermoset rubber) and STOOW (PVC)?
All three are 600 V Extra-Hard-Usage double-oil outdoor cords. SOOW uses thermoset EPDM/neoprene rubber (-40 to +90 °C); STOOW uses thermoplastic PVC (-40 to +105 °C); SEOOW uses Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), delivering the widest temperature range (-50 to +105 °C) and lightest weight.
Why does 14/3 SEOOW have a noticeably larger outer diameter (13.34 mm) than 14/3 SJEOOW (9.53 mm)?
At 14 AWG, UL 62 steps up the 600 V 'S' cord insulation wall from 30 mil (0.76 mm) to 45 mil (1.14 mm) and the outer jacket wall from 60 mil (1.52 mm) to 80 mil (2.03 mm) to provide 600 V crush and cut-through protection.
Can 6/4 and 2/4 SEOOW be used for temporary jobsite power spider boxes?
Yes. 6/4 (45–55 A) and 2/4 (80–95 A) SEOOW are industry-standard portable feeder cords for 50 A California-style twist-lock spider boxes and temporary generator distribution panels.
