Questions about this size
- What breaker can 4-4-4-6 SER Copper Cable go on?
- Its ampacity is 85 A (75 C column of NEC Table 310.16). The breaker can be that size, or the next standard size up where NEC 240.4(B) allows it. Derate first for more than three current-carrying conductors or high ambient heat. With 60 C rated terminals (the NEC 110.14(C) default at 100 A or less unless the equipment is marked 75 C) it is 70 A.
- How far can I run it before voltage drop is a problem?
- At 85 A on a 240 V single phase circuit, about 135 ft one way keeps the drop at 3 percent, the figure an informational note to NEC 210.19(A) suggests for branch circuits. Try other loads in the voltage drop calculator.
- Can it be buried directly in the ground?
- No, and not in underground conduit either: NEC 338.12(A) does not permit SE cable underground, with or without a raceway. Use URD or USE-2, or wet-rated conductors in conduit.
- Can I buy it by the foot?
- Yes, cut to length in whole feet from 25 ft, or on 500 ft spools. Cut wire is final sale; uncut spools can be returned within 30 days.
