Introduction

Underground power distribution projects require more than just cable in the ground. Factors such as neutral construction, mechanical protection, voltage requirements, and installation conditions can all influence cable selection.

As a Nexans stocking distributor, Texcan supplies a range of underground cable solutions for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility projects.

Whether you're supplying a residential service entrance, an industrial facility, or a medium-voltage distribution feeder, understanding the differences between USEI90, USEB90, ACWU90, and Concentric Neutral cable can help ensure the right product is chosen for the application.

Underground Service Entrances

USEI90 Cable (600V)

USEI90 is typically used where an insulated neutral is required due to regional utility or code requirements.

Cable Features:

  • Insulated neutral conductor.
  • Flexible, non‑armored construction.
  • Available in 3C & 4C configurations.
  • Suitable for direct burial.

Why choose USEI90:

  • For powering service entrances.
  • Multi‑conductor underground runs.
  • A cost‑effective alternative to armoured or utility‑grade underground cables.


USEB90 Cable (600V)

USEB90 is typically used where a bare neutral is permitted under regional utility or code requirements

Cable Features:

  • Copper concentric neutral.
  • Simplified construction, no armor, no insulated neutral.
  • Suitable for direct burial.

Why choose USEB90:​

  • For powering service entrances.
  • Underground distribution cable.
  • Lower‑cost option when a bare neutral is permitted.


Armoured Underground Services

ACWU90 Cable (600V)

ACWU90 Cable is used when underground or exposed installations require mechanical protection and industrial durability.

Cable Features:

  • Interlocked aluminum armour. 
  • FT4 - flame retardant rating.
  • Hazardous location ratings (Class I, II, III).
  • Tray‑rated and suitable for direct burial.

Why choose ACWU90:

  • Industrial circuits & service entrances.
  • Outdoor or exposed environments.
  • A cost‑effective way to meet armour + hazardous location requirements.


Underground MV Feeders

Concentric Neutral MV Cable (5kV-35kV)

Concentric Neutral MV Cable is used for MV distribution feeders where fault protection and grounding are critical.

Cable Features:

  • Copper concentric neutral wires.
  • Provides fault return & grounding.
  • Suitable for direct burial.

Why choose Concentric Neutral:

  • Primary or secondary underground distribution.
  • Long‑distance underground runs.
