[RE-wrenches] PAE series surge capacity/ power factor ?

[Ray]

Long runs of URD direct buried?  Just a nick into the metal can corrode 
the cable all the way through over time.  We use conduit for almost 
everything anymore.  The savings with URD doesn't pan out, when you have 
to abandon the line after 10 years.
