"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."

Why Electricians Choose Converse 2/0-2/0-2/0 Triplex Aluminum URD

The 2/0-2/0-2/0 Hunter 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: Advanced cross-linked polyethylene insulation prevents premature aging caused by UV exposure, ensuring durability at the service entrance.

  • Easy-Identify Neutral: For faster installation and safer maintenance, the neutral conductor features three extruded yellow stripes and clear sequential footage markings.

  • Direct Burial Ready: Specifically built for the harsh conditions of underground utility distribution; can be installed directly in the earth or within conduit/duct systems.

Yes. This cable is rated for direct burial applications. It features a rugged, sunlight-resistant XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation designed to withstand underground conditions. However, always check your local electrical codes to ensure compliance for your specific project and depth requirements.

The ampacity differs based on heat dissipation. When installed in duct or conduit, this cable is rated for 180 Amps. When direct-buried, it is rated for 245 Amps because the surrounding earth acts as a better heat sink, allowing for higher current capacity.

While Triplex URD is primarily designed for secondary underground distribution—such as feeding power from a transformer to a home, farm, or detached building—it is also commonly used for service entrance applications. Please verify with your local utility provider or a licensed electrician that Triplex URD meets the specific requirements for your service connection.

This cable is rated for use in wet and dry locations with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. However, it is not rated for full submersion. It is intended for underground soil environments, not for use inside water features, ponds, or fully submerged applications.

Triplex URD cable consists of three conductors (two insulated hot wires and one neutral). It is designed to carry the electrical load, with the neutral carrying the unbalanced load. If your specific application requires a separate equipment grounding conductor, you may need to run an additional bare copper or aluminum ground wire alongside the Triplex cable, depending on your local NEC requirements.
