What does Soow cable stand for?
Service Cord
SOOW Cable Overview SOOW stands for: S = Service Cord (600 Volts) OO = Oil Resistant both inside insulation and outside jacket. W = CSA designation for weather/water resistance. TYPE SOOW Cable is for use in heavy-duty industrial applications where flexibility and durability is required.

What is a 10 4 wire?
10/4 wire has 4 insulated wires WITH a bare copper ground, so in actuality it has 5 wires. 10/3 has 3 insulated and 1 bare wire.
What’s the difference between Sjoow and Soow?
The main difference between these portable cords is their voltage ratings. SJOOW is a Junior Service Cord, which means it only has a voltage rating of 300V. SOOW Cable, on the other hand, has a rating of 600V. SOOW cable is also more resistant to impact, abrasion, and ozone.
Can you bury Soow cable?
Since it is subject to physical damage, it is not allowed as a direct burial. UF cable is used for direct burial. “SOOW” cord is not rated for direct burial on the exterior insulation.
Is Soow cable UV resistant?
The ‘W’ means the cable is weather and water-resistant. Overall, SOOW cord resists oil, solvents, water, ozone, aging, and abrasion. It is also flame retardant, flexible, and durable….SOOW Service Cord Specifications.
| What Does SOOW Mean? | |
|---|---|
| S | Service Cord |
| OO | Oil Resistant Inside & Outside |
| W | Weather/Water Resistance |
Can 10 gauge wire handle 50 amps?
A 10-gauge bare copper wire can carry a 50-amp load, but the resistance in the cable will cause it to heat up substantially.
How many amps can number 10 wire carry?
30 AMPS
Size & AMP Ratings
| NM, TW, & UF WIRE (Copper Conductor) | SE CABLE (Copper Conductor) |
|---|---|
| 12 AWG – 20 AMPS | 6 AWG – 65 AMPS |
| 10 AWG – 30 AMPS | 4 AWG – 85 AMPS |
| 8 AWG – 40 AMPS | 2 AWG – 115 AMPS |
| 6 AWG – 55 AMPS | 1 AWG – 130 AMPS |
Does 10 3 wire have a ground?
The “3” in 10/3 wires refers to the number of electricity-conducting wires in the cable. It does not include the ground wire. So, a 10/3 cable has red-insulated “hot” wire, a black-insulated “hot” wire, a white-insulated neutral wire, and a green-insulated or bare copper ground wire.
Is Soow cable sunlight resistant?
SOOW is incredibly durable. Its thermoset rubber jacket makes the cord weather resistant, and the jacket hardens under a direct application of heat, which allows the cord to be unaffected by aging, abrasion, water, sunlight and ozone. Oil-resistant insulation and jacketing lend to the cord’s durability as well.
