Ser Cable

[tommy]

Ser cable from the panel to the outside under the deck , then corner of deck 10' away shed. Can Ser cable then be sleeved in conduit to the sub-panel in the shed?

Type SE cable (SER is Type SE), is not permitted to be installed below grade.

You can find more detailed info at (TYLZ) in the UL White Book, which is available online for free, at www.ul.com
