SE cables used as feeder has EGC is going to come out of panelboard interior of building in raceway and come out of building exterior walls back into tenant electric rooms.

Understand NEC 2014 Section 338.10(B)(4)(b) exterior points to part I Section 225 and 334.30 but I was not sure about the following:


Does the exterior part of SE cable with EGC that is going to go on on exterior walls side need raceway or it can be without raceway supported per 334.30 ok?

Does anyone know if SE cable with EGC used as feeder routed exterior on building exterior walls require to to be in raceway or not?
 
Generally that is fine, it's what SE cable is for. However there are some people that, pretty much whenever something is exposed, consider it subject to physical damage. You may want to read this thread:

SE Cable running along side of home

I’m new to the field and saw an SE coming out of the meter and running along side of house about a foot above grade for 15 feet or so unsecured. Aside from not being properly fastened, is this a violation of 230.50 where service cables must be protected from physical damage with PVC, RMC, etc...

Be cautious of local requirements. TN requires SE to be in a raceway if run on the exterior surface of metal or masonry.

OP on that link refers to section 230 service entrance cable. However SE in my case is used as feeder so what section is it for feeder subject to physical damage but for SE cable?
