Southwire 56366102 Submersible Pump Cable 12 Awg 3 Conductor

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 56366102 is a PVC-insulated submersible pump cable rated for direct installation in wet and underground environments. Built to UL-listed standards, it features copper conductors insulated with Essex specially compounded moisture-resistant PVC. The flat-type cable is rated at 600 volts and 60 degrees F continuous service temperature. This 500-foot coil is sized for residential and light commercial submersible pump installations where a code-compliant, moisture-resistant wiring solution is required. The three-conductor configuration includes color-coded conductors — black, red, and yellow — with a green ground, making field identification straightforward for electricians and pump service technicians.

This cable is intended for use with submersible well pumps and sump applications where the wiring must pass through water-saturated soil or sit submerged in a well casing. The flat construction allows the cable to run alongside a drop pipe without binding or kinking. It is commonly used in new well installations and pump replacements in residential settings. The 500-foot coil length accommodates deep-set pump installations typical in private well systems. Licensed electricians and pump contractors are the primary installers for this product.

Key Features

• PVC insulation compounded for moisture resistance in submerged and underground applications
• Copper conductors meeting UL-listed construction standards
• 600V rating suitable for standard residential submersible pump circuits
• Flat-type cable profile reduces friction when running alongside drop pipe in well casings
• Three conductors color-coded black, red, and yellow with separate green ground for clear field identification
• 500-foot coil provides continuous run length for deep-set pump installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard submersible pump cable for use with 3-conductor, 600V submersible well pump installations. No specific model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this listing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 310 and applicable local codes governing submersible pump wiring. Disconnect and lock out power at the panel before handling any pump wiring. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable when feeding it into the well casing, as these can damage the PVC insulation over time. Verify that all splices and connections are made with waterproof wire connectors rated for submersible use.
