Service Entrance Cable (SER/SEU) - Aluminum

Service entrance cables bring power from electrical companies to residential buildings and homes. Both SER and SEU cables are 600 volts and suitable for use in dry or moist conditions. The anatomy between the two cables differ which determines how they should be used in your electrical project. SEU cables have a neutral conductor but no ground conductor. SER cables have both.

Wire & Cable Your Way offers SER and SEU Aluminum Building Wire at the best prices you'll find anywhere, and it’s all available by the foot with no cut charges. The cable is rated at 600 volts and 90ºC for use in wet and dry locations.
