OK guys no where in my posts will you see that I say it will not work.
The problem comes down to the listing, for whatever reason SER is only listed for above ground use.
I agree it makes no sense but that is the situation.
If you use a product outside it's listing you have a 110.3(B) violation.
I sent out a number of emails asking questions about this thread and the responses I got all have the same basic opinion.
SE(R) will work fine installed underground.
SE(R) installed underground is presently a NEC violation.
