12/3 UF-B Solid Copper Underground Feeder Cable 600V
Allowable Ampacity for 12/3 Solid Underground Feeder Cable UF-B Copper 600v for Direct Burial: 20
Allowable Ampacity for 12/3 Solid Underground Feeder Cable UF-B Copper 600v in Duct: 20
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 feeder or branch circuit cable if provided with overcurrent protection. Copper Underground Feeder Cable UF-B has a rating of 600 volts.
