"The high-capacity utility standard for 2/0 primary loops—engineered with 133% TR-XLPE insulation and water-blocked conductors to provide maximum reliability in underground distribution."
The 2/0 AWG aluminum cable is a robust choice for primary residential feeders and light commercial loops. By using a 133% insulation level (220 mils), it provides a superior safety margin against voltage surges compared to standard 100% rated cables.
Water-Blocked Stranded Conductors: This cable features compressed concentric stranded 1350 series aluminum with interstitial spaces filled with a water-blocking compound. This stops longitudinal moisture migration if the cable's integrity is ever compromised.
133% TR-XLPE Insulation: Naturally high dielectric strength Tree-Retardant XLPE insulation resists the formation of "water trees," significantly extending the service life of underground infrastructure in wet environments.
Full Concentric Neutral: Featuring 13 x #12 AWG solid bare copper wires, this 2/0 AWG cable provides a 100% neutral capacity, ensuring high-performance grounding and safety for primary utility circuits.
Durable LLDPE Jacket: The black Linear Low-Density Polyethylene jacket is sunlight, abrasion, and heat resistant, marked with the NESC lightning bolt and sequential footage markings for easy field identification.
Main Residential Feeders: Used as a primary supply line for housing developments requiring higher ampacity than 1/0 or #2 gauge.
Light Commercial Power: Providing reliable 15kV primary power to retail centers and medium-sized commercial facilities.
Three-Phase Utility Distribution: Ideal for looped primary systems in municipal grids where 2/0 capacity is required for load balancing.
ENGINEERING OVERVIEW: 2/0 STR 133% PRIMARY
APPLICATION: Primarily used for underground distribution, in direct burial or installed in conduit in wet or dry locations.
VOLTAGE: Rated for 15,000 volts or less.
CONDUCTORS: 2/0 stranded 1350 series aluminum; stranded conductors are water-blocked.
INSULATION: 220 mils of TR-XLPE (Tree-Retardant Cross-Linked Polyethylene) at 133% insulation level.
CONCENTRIC NEUTRAL: 13 x #12 AWG solid bare copper wires helically applied (Full Neutral).
JACKET: Black LLDPE with three red stripes and NESC lightning bolt.
WEIGHT: Approximately 811 lbs/kft.

The overall jacket diameter for this 2/0 STR 15kV 133% URD is 1.23 inches. For a single-conductor installation, a 2.5-inch conduit is standard. For a triplex configuration (three cables), a 3.5-inch to 4-inch conduit is recommended.
While a 3-inch conduit may be technically legal under the NEC 40% fill rule (coming in at roughly 37% fill), the 1.23" diameter creates a high risk of "jamming" during the pull. Moving to a 4-inch conduit provides the necessary clearance to ensure a safe installation without damaging the cable jacket.
Note on Conduit Sizing: These recommendations are based on standard NEC 40% fill guidelines for general informational purposes. Because factors such as pull length, total degrees of bends, and pulling tension vary by project, always consult with a licensed electrical engineer or project lead to verify final conduit specifications.
This 2/0 AWG cable features 13 x #12 AWG solid bare copper neutral wires. These wires are helically applied and uniformly spaced over the insulation shield to provide 100% (Full) conductivity relative to the 2/0 aluminum phase conductor, ensuring a safe and effective ground path.
15kV Aluminum URD (Underground Residential Distribution) cable is a medium-voltage cable used for primary underground power distribution at 15,000 volts or less. It features an aluminum conductor, solid or stranded, with Tree-Retardant Cross-Linked Polyethylene (TR-XLPE), rated for direct burial or duct installation in wet/dry locations.
Yes, 15kV URD Cable is rated for direct burial or installation in conduits.
RUS Accepted means this cable meets the technical and durability standards set by the Rural Utilities Service (USDA). This is a critical requirement for contractors working on federally funded rural electrification projects, as it ensures the cable is vetted for long-term reliability in utility-grade infrastructure.
The 133% insulation level provides a thicker 220-mil wall of TR-XLPE compared to the standard 175-mil wall found on standard 100% rated cables. This provides a higher safety margin and superior protection against voltage spikes, which is especially important in systems where fault-clearing times may be longer.
The minimum bending radius for 2/0 STR 15kV URD is approximately 15 inches. Industry standards dictate a radius of 12 times the overall diameter (1.23" x 12). Maintaining this 15-inch radius is critical during installation to protect the internal TR-XLPE insulation and the 20 copper neutral wires from mechanical stress that could lead to electrical tracking or premature failure.
