Question:
Hello Friends of the Code.
When installing temporary power on a job site, is Type SE Cable permitted to be underground since it is only temporary?
Thanks for this NEC question forum.

Answer:
Hello Henry,
The NEC does permit the use of Type SE cable in underground applications for temporary wiring installations as indicated in Sections 590.4(B)(2) and 590.4(C)(2). The SE cable is required to be in a raceway, such as PVC.
