Description

The 10/3 UF-B Underground Feeder Cable is designed to supply power from residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to various outdoor installations. It is suitable for:

• Direct burial without conduit

• Sunlight exposure in outdoor settings

• Feeder or branch circuits with proper overcurrent protection

Rated at 600 volts, it is highly effective for powering outdoor, underground, and wet environments.

UF-B General Applications

• Underground feeders

• Outdoor lighting systems

• Outdoor outlets and receptacles

• Direct burial installations

• Wet or damp locations

• Pump systems

• HVAC unit wiring

• Underground branch circuits

• Indoor wiring in areas exposed to moisture

Specific Applications for 10/3 UF-B Wire

• 240V Circuits with a Neutral: For devices that operate at 240V but also need 120V for certain components, like air conditioning units or some ovens and ranges.

• 120/240V Circuits: Common in well pumps and subpanels that require both voltages.

• Multiple 120V Circuits: Suitable for supplying two separate 120V circuits in a single cable.
