UL493 Underground Feeder and Branch Cable UF-B Cable

600V UL493 UF-B UNDERGROUND FEEDER AND BRANCH CABLE

Applications:

UF-B cable is generally used as a feeder to outside post lamps, pumps, and other loads or apparatus fed from a  distribution point in an existing building as specified in the 2011 National Electrical Code. UF-B cable may be used underground, including direct burial. Multiple conductor UF-B cable may be used for interior branch circuit wiring in residential or agricultural buildings at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C (with ampacity limited to that for 60°C conductors) as specified by the National Electrical Code. UF-B can be used in applications permitted for NMC in Section 334.10(B) of the National Electrical Code. The voltage rating for the UF-B cable is 600 volts.

Standards:

Copper UF-B cable complies with the following:

• ASTM – B3 and B-8

• UL Standard 83

• UL Standard 493

• Federal Specification A-A-59544

• National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, 2011 Edition

• RoHS/ REACH

CONSTRUCTION:

Copper UF-B cable is manufactured as a 2 or 3 conductor cable, with or without a ground wire. Copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper, solid or compressed stranded. Phase conductors are polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated, nylon jacketed, color-coded for identification purposes. Jacketed with sunlight, moisture, and fungus-resistant gray PVC.
