Hello all, I am trying to run electricity to my shed. I buried the conduit and picked up some wire, 4/3 Aluminum SER. After the fact, I saw some threads online stating that you cannot put SER in conduit underground because it is considered a wet location. This is confusing to me since the insulation on the wire is XHHW-2. Any ideas? Should I just use it or go out and buy new wire?
