Electrical Question from Richard about Installing Underground Wire
Background: Richard, a Homeowner from South Jordan, UT
[ad#block]Question: I would like to run a 110V line from my house (breaker box) to my shed which is about 125 feet away. Is there away to do this without having to trench and bury the line? Is there an electrical cable that can lay on the surface of the ground or a couple of inches deep? Thanks
Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Richard. Sorry, but there is no electrical cable that can be installed safely that is covered with just a couple of inches of soil. Please see the link below for Underground Electrical Codes.
