"The industry-standard for secondary three-phase residential, farm, and 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 robust, long-term underground performance."

Why Electricians Choose Notre Dame 1/0-1/0-1/0-2 Quadruplex Aluminum URD

The Notre Dame 1/0-1/0-1/0-2 URD cable is the preferred solution for secondary underground three-phase power distribution in high-capacity applications. Specifically designed for projects requiring three phase conductors and a reduced neutral, it provides a stable, high-performance solution for commercial storefronts, heavy-duty agricultural feeds, and large residential sub-panels. By utilizing high-conductivity 1350-H19 aluminum and heavy-duty, sunlight-resistant XLP insulation, it offers superior resistance to environmental degradation, moisture ingress, and thermal stress.

  • 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 at termination points and service entrances.

  • Reduced Neutral Efficiency: Features a #2 AWG neutral for systems where the neutral carries only the unbalanced load, reducing overall cable weight and cost without sacrificing safety.

  • 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.

URD stands for Underground Residential Distribution. This is a specific classification of electrical cable designed to carry power from utility transformers to secondary service entrances (like your home or a commercial sub-panel). Because this 1/0 is a URD cable, it is engineered with rugged XLP insulation that allows it to be buried directly in the earth without the need for a protective conduit. While it has "Residential" in the name, it is the industry standard for underground power in commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications as well.

Yes. Notre Dame is a URD Type USE-2 cable specifically designed for direct burial. The rugged XLP insulation is built to survive moisture and soil-based stressors without the need for protective conduit for the entire run.

The Notre Dame is engineered for high-performance power delivery:

  • Direct Burial: Approximately 200 Amps
  • In Duct/Conduit: Approximately 150 Amps

Note: These ratings are based on a 90°C conductor temperature. Always consult with your local electrical inspector and reference NEC Table 310.15 to ensure the cable meets your specific load and environmental requirements.

No. URD is not flame-retardant and does not carry an indoor NEC listing (like SER or MC cable). It is designed for outdoor underground use only and must transition to an indoor-rated cable shortly after entering a structure.

Yes. When installed in a conduit/duct system, Notre Dame 1/0 is rated for 150 Amps. If you are burying the cable directly in a trench, the rating increases to 200 Amps. This makes it an incredibly versatile cable for commercial storefronts or larger residential sub-feeds that require more than a standard 100-Amp service.

Important: Always consult a licensed electrical installer who is up to date on all local codes before selecting a size. Keep in mind of voltage drops over 100ft.

Yes. Because 1/0 is a larger conductor than #2, it handles voltage drop much more effectively. If you are running 100A–125A power over a long distance (e.g., 200+ feet), stepping up to 1/0 Notre Dame helps ensure your voltage stays within the required 3%–5% drop range.

Important: Always consult a licensed electrical installer who is up to date on all local codes before selecting a size.

The outside diameter (OD) of our 1/0-1/0-1/0-2 Notre Dame is approximately 1.24 inches (31.5 mm).

  • Minimum Requirement: While a 1.5-inch conduit may technically meet the physical fill requirements for short, straight runs, it leaves very little room for error.
  • Recommended: We strongly recommend using 2-inch PVC or EMT conduit.
    Using the 2-inch size ensures a much smoother "pull," reducing the risk of friction-related damage to the XLP insulation. This is especially critical if your run includes 90-degree sweeps or exceeds 50 feet in length.

Pro Tip: If your run is exceptionally long or has more than three 90-degree bends, some installers prefer stepping up to a 2.5-inch conduit to further minimize pulling tension. Always verify your specific plan with a licensed electrical installer and refer to an official NEC conduit fill chart.

Aluminum URD is the industry standard for underground utility feeds because it is significantly more cost-effective and lighter than copper. At the 2/0 AWG size, aluminum provides the necessary ampacity for large residential and commercial feeds at a fraction of the cost.

We stock a comprehensive range of URD cable configurations to meet residential, farm, and commercial power needs. This includes , Erskine (6-6-6), Vassar (4-4-4), Stephens (2-2-4), Brenau (1/0-1/0-2), Converse (2/0-2/0-1/0), and Sweetbriar (4/0-4/0-2/0).
