10/3 UF-B Applications:
An underground feeder cable’s prime purpose is to bring the power from the residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to outdoor constructions, which include pumps and lighting constructions. The electrical cable is suitable for direct burial, as well as direct exposure to the sunlight. It is permitted for use as a feeder or branch circuit cable if provided with overcurrent protection. Copper Underground Feeder Cable UF-B has a rating of 600 volts.
Common Applications:
- Underground Feeding
- Outdoor Lighting
- Outdoor Outlets
- Direct Burial
- Wet or Damp Locations
- Pump Systems
- HVAC Systems
- Underground Branch Circuits
- Indoor Applications Exposed to Moisture
Particular applications for size 10/3 UF-B:
- 240V Circuits With a Neutral: For devices that operate at 240V but also have components that need 120V, requiring both hot wires and the neutral, such as air conditioning units and certain models of ovens or ranges.
- 120/240V Circuits: Circuits that provide both voltages, often seen in some well pumps
, and subpanels where both 120V and 240V circuits are needed
- Multiple 120V Circuits
