Even if it is sealed in PVC?

Good information at least now I know why the SER is not suggested. I guess I will run THWN #2 in PVC to the garage. If I do this would I need to run PVC in the house to the main panel? I am trying to get away from this.

Thanks for the info. Why would it fail? Does it get to hot? The SER wire I have is covered with grey plastic material and the wires are also coated with their own plastic. It seems like it would be ok. What wire can I run without splicing? It will be hard to run PVC in house to main panel so...

I was told to take out my 2-2-2-4 CU SER. I had it ran from main panel from house to a sub-panel 65 ft away in a detached garage (buried in 1 1/2 Grey PVC). The inspector came back out and told me it was ok. Is there anything wrong with what I had? I don't want to burn down my house or garage...
