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:
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.
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).
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).
