Introduction
As underground construction season winds down across Western Canada, project teams are focused on completing service entrances, secondary distribution systems, and medium-voltage feeders before winter conditions arrive.
From residential developments and commercial projects to municipal and utility infrastructure, underground cable selection remains a critical part of keeping projects on schedule. Prysmian's USEI90, USEB90, and Concentric Neutral MV cable solutions support a wide range of underground power distribution applications.
Understanding Underground Distribution Applications
Service entrance and underground distribution cables often serve similar applications, but differences in neutral construction, voltage requirements, and utility specifications can influence product selection.
The following overview highlights where each cable is commonly used and the key characteristics that distinguish it.
| Service entrance cable requirements vary by utility territory, municipality, and project specification. Always verify local utility requirements before cable selection. |
