What governing standard and construction define SER (UL 854 Type SER 600 V Round Service-Entrance Cable with XHHW-2 Conductors)?

SER (UL 854 Type SER 600 V Round Service-Entrance Cable with XHHW-2 Conductors) is manufactured in accordance with UL 854 / NEC Article 338 for 600 V service over -40 °C to +90 °C. Its 4-layer construction comprises stranded copper conductor, xlpe core insulation, reinforcement binder, pvc outer jacket.

What is the minimum bending radius and installation temperature for SER?

The minimum installed bending radius for SER is 6 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -40 °C to +90 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric stability without conductor or insulation strain.

How are the concentric layers of SER arranged from inside to outside?

From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Stranded copper conductor (High-conductivity copper conductor per UL 854 / NEC Article 338); (02) XLPE core insulation (Extruded XLPE dielectric (individual core / group layer)); (03) Reinforcement binder (Helically applied reinforcement binder); (04) PVC outer jacket (Extruded PVC outer jacket protective layer (continuous layer)).

What factory test certificates are supplied with SER?

Every production drum or spool of SER undergoes routine conductor DC resistance, dimensional and dielectric/integrity testing per UL 854 / NEC Article 338, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
