SER 200 A

[scootk70]

Is there a watertight straight connector for 200A SER cable. 3 cords 4/0, 1 cord 2/0?

Good question. I did a quick search and found no such item. What's the application?

Can you sleeve the cable in pvc and use a sealing locknut?

SOOW type connectors?

I have never seen on but that does not mean squat. I would be interested in it though. Evertime I have run SER its been inside. Anytime I ran it outside its been in pipe. Will that cable be out of harms way so it does not need physical protection?

If I remember correctly, if you're entering a disconnect below the live parts you can use an SE squeeze connector.

I have reamed out the rubber gasket in a weatherproof 4/0 SEC connector to fit SER many times.

You figure that's still weatherproof?

Add some silicone and you should be good.

Again, thanx for the responses.
Checking w/AHJ; squeeze connector, sleeve w/sealing locknut and reaming the wp connector.

He didn't like the squeeze connector idea?

Rob,

Nah, it is a row home w/sidewalk separating buildings. His thought is possible damage to conductors, leakage
and corrosion.

But still code compliant.
