SOW cable to subpanel?

[mayjong]

can it be used as a feeder to a sub?
i have only seen it in in relation to a welder.
however , i can't find any reason why it shouldn't be used. it will be installed under a raised floor in a SFD...
we 're under the 05' NEC...

What is a SFD?

Anyway in general cord can not be used as a permanent wiring method. see 400.8(1)

I think SFD= Single Family Dwelling.

I agree, 400.8(1) would prohibit the use of SOW cord as a feeder for a panelboard.

Yeah, the raised floor might be a crawl space.
