Aluminum building wire is a commonly used material for electrical installations in commercial and residential construction and industrial projects. We are an aluminum cable supplier of these products:
Type SE Aluminum Cable (SER/SEU)
Above-ground service entrance/panel feeder/branch circuit, wet/dry locations, rated at 90 degrees Celsius by NEC Article 338
Conduit/cable trays, industrial/commercial, services/feeders/branch circuits, NEC 2001, wet/dry locations, maximum conductor temperature 90 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Celsius when exposed to oil/coolant)
Type MC armored cables are metal-clad cables that provide a durable and protective solution for electrical circuits and eliminate the need for a separate conduit. They are appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use, and applications include control cables and flexible connections to HVAC equipment or light fixtures.
Classic Wire is a Type MC industrial cable distributor of the following three- or four-conductor with ground aluminum armor products:
Both are appropriate for service entrance cables, feeders, or branch circuits in compliance with NEC 2011. They can also be used in a raceway, against masonry, or embedded in plaster.
Medium Voltage Cables
PowerGuard® Medium Voltage Cables are engineered for reliability and efficiency in a variety of applications, including industrial, commercial, and utility projects.
We offer PowerGuard® 5-35 kV cables which are intended for use in wet or dry locations for distribution of single or three phase medium voltage power. These cables may be installed in ducts, exposed to sunlight or direct buried. Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger are approved for use in cable tray, marked “FOR CT USE”.
Classic Wire and Cable’s utility aluminum cables are economical and lightweight, making them suitable for a broad range of utility applications, including power transmission and distribution. Their high conductivity and good strength-to-weight ratio make them ideal for grid infrastructure and renewable energy projects like wind farms and solar panels.
Aluminum URD Cables (Underground)
We offer 600 V 1350 aluminum URD (Type USE-2) cables in quadruplex, triplex, duplex, and single designed for secondary distribution in direct burial or duct installations. We also carry 600 V 8000 aluminum URD Triplex (Type USE-2), which can be directly buried or pulled into a conduit for secondary distribution or underground service entrances.
Classic Wire stocks the following aluminum service drop cables, all in AAC, ASCR, and AAAC-6201 alloy constructions:
Quadruplex: Supplies 3-phase power from a pole-mounted transformer to the service entrance cable connection, voltages of 600 V or less, conductor temperatures not to exceed 75 C (polyethylene-insulated) or 90 C (XLP-insulated)
Triplex: Supplies power from the utility lines to the consumer’s weatherhead, service at 600 V or less (phase to phase), maximum temperature of 75 C (polyethylene insulation) or 90 C (crosslinked insulation)
Duplex: Supplies 120 V aerial service for temporary construction service or outdoor/street lighting, 600V or lower, conductor temperature maximum 75 C
SO portable cord cables are designated for extra-hard service and excellent performance in extreme heat or cold. The robust construction with insulation and a jacket made from thermoset rubber provides significant resistance to oil, solvents, water, ozone, flame, aging, and abrasion. Our portable cable products include:
SOOW Copper 600 V: Submersible in shallow water with temperatures up to 60 C for three months maximum
SJOOW Copper 300 V: Use in dry/damp locations and in temperatures up to 90 C
The flexibility of SO portable cord cables makes them ideal for moveable applications like connecting power to portable equipment. However, these cables are not intended for permanent wiring installations.
