"The industry-standard for residential, farm, and light commercial power distribution. Engineered for reliable 600V delivery, this cable is rated for both direct burial and duct installations, featuring sunlight-resistant XLP insulation for long-term underground performance."
The 2/0-2/0-1 Converse URD cable is a heavy-duty solution for secondary underground residential power distribution. Engineered to meet the rugged demands of direct burial, it provides a stable, long-term solution for moving power from the transformer to the service entrance. By utilizing high-conductivity 1350-H19 aluminum and a sunlight-resistant XLP insulation, it offers superior resistance to environmental degradation and moisture ingress.
600V Reliability: Rated for continuous operation in wet or dry locations at temperatures up to 90°C.
Sunlight-Resistant XLP:Â Advanced cross-linked polyethylene insulation prevents premature aging caused by UV exposure, ensuring durability at the service entrance.
Easy-Identify Neutral:Â For faster installation and safer maintenance, the neutral conductor features three extruded yellow stripes and clear sequential footage markings.
Direct Burial Ready:Â Specifically built for the harsh conditions of underground utility distribution; can be installed directly in the earth or within conduit/duct systems.
ENGINEERING OVERVIEW: 2/0-2/0-1 AWG Triplex URD

This configuration balances current-carrying capacity with cost-efficiency. By utilizing 2/0 phase conductors for the "hot" legs and a 1 AWG reduced neutral, you achieve the required amperage for a 200A service entrance while optimizing material usage.
At 2/0, voltage drop is significantly lower than with smaller conductors. However, for exceptionally long runs (typically exceeding 100–150 feet), we recommend calculating the specific load and distance to ensure you remain within the NEC 210.19(A) recommended 3% limit.
Yes. Converse URD is widely accepted by utility companies and electrical inspectors as it meets UL 854 standards and is fully rated for Type USE-2 underground service applications. As local codes may vary from state to state, we always recommend consulting with a local electrician to confirm this cable is right for your project.
In standard residential 120/240V systems, the neutral is only required to carry the unbalanced load. Sizing the neutral at 1 AWG is standard industry practice for a 2/0-2/0-1 configuration, providing significant savings without sacrificing system safety.
Unlike standard building wire like THHN/THWN-2, Converse URD is specifically formulated for direct exposure to soil, moisture, and chemical stressors. It is physically more robust and rated for direct burial—features that standard THHN wire lacks.
For 2/0-2/0-1 Triplex Converse, the ampacity depends on the installation method:
Direct Burial:Â 245 Amps
In Duct/Conduit:Â 180 Amps
Note: Always refer to NEC 310.15 or consult a licensed electrician to verify derating requirements based on your local environment.
