"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 2/0-2/0-2/0-1 Quadruplex Aluminum URD

The Syracuse 2/0-2/0-2/0-1 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, providing dependable power for high-capacity 3-phase equipment.

  • 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 #1 AWG neutral for systems where the neutral carries only the unbalanced load, reducing overall cable weight and cost while maintaining high performance.

  • 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. It is a category of electrical cable specifically engineered for direct burial in the earth. Unlike standard indoor wire, URD is built with rugged XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation that is chemically designed to resist moisture, soil acids, and mechanical pressure without needing a protective outer jacket or conduit.

  • Direct Burial: Approximately 225 Amps
  • In Duct/Conduit: Approximately 170 Amps

Note: These ratings are based on 90°C conductor temperature. Always consult NEC Table 310.15 for specific installation derating.

In three-phase power systems (residential or commercial), the neutral wire usually only carries the "unbalanced" portion of the electrical load. Because this load is typically much smaller than the main phase load, the code allows for a smaller neutral conductor (#1 AWG for Syracuse and #2 AWG for Notre Dame). This reduces the cable’s weight and cost while remaining fully code-compliant.

Yes. These cables are designed for Direct Burial. The high-density XLP insulation acts as its own protection against the elements. While you can install it in a conduit for added mechanical protection (such as under a driveway), it is typically fully rated to be placed directly in a 24-inch deep trench.

Check Local Codes: Local municipal codes may require a deeper trench (e.g., 30 inches) or conduit in certain scenarios.

Yes. Even though it is an underground wire, the ends of the cable often sit above ground where they connect to a meter box or transformer. The insulation is UV-rated to ensure it won’t crack or become brittle when exposed to the sun at these termination points.

Only for the first few feet. Because URD is optimized for burial rather than fire resistance, the NEC generally limits its use to no more than 3-5 feet inside a structure. Typically, once you are 5 feet past the point of entry, you must transition to an indoor-rated cable like Aluminum SER.

IMPORTANT: Always consult with a certified local electrician who is up to date on all local code before selecting a size and type of cable.
