Also known as:
Type SE, Style SER and SEU Service Entrance Cable；
Copper Aluminum Service Entrance (SE) Cable；
Ground service entrance cable；
SEU: Service Entrance cable, Unarmored；
SER: Service Entrance cable with Reinforcement tape；
APPLICATIONS OF AL/CU Service Entrance (SE) Cable
service entrance cable is used to convey power from the service drop to the meter base and from the meter base to the distribution panelboard; however, it may be used in all applications where Type SE cable is permitted. SE SER may be used in wet or dry above ground locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. The voltage rating is 600 volts.
CONSTRUCTION:
Type SE cable is constructed with AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compacted stranded conductors. The conductors are covered with a sunlight resistant Type XHHW-2 or TypeTHHN/THWN-2-insulation.
A reinforcement tape is wrapped around the conductors for added strength and conformity. A gray sunlight-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer jacket covers the entire assembly.
Style SEU cable has two phase conductors surrounded by a concentric neutral while the SER style has two, three or four phase conductors and a bare neutral.
Style SER Cable’s phase conductors are identified by a colored stripe on the insulation.
3 conductor – Black and Black with Red Stripe
4 conductor – Black, Black with White Stripe and Black with Red Stripe
5 conductor – Black, Black with White Stripe, Black with Red Stripe and Black with Blue Stripe

CONSTRUCTION:
Type SE cable is constructed with sunlight resistant Type XHHW-2 conductors or Type THHN/THWN conductors.
Copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper. Cable assembly plus reinforcement tape are jacketed with sunlight resistant gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Available as 1 conductor with a concentric ground, 2 conductor with a round or concentric ground, or 3 conductor with a bare ground. SE cable is jacketed with gray sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
