Underground requirements - 01/13/11 07:48 PM
Around here for years when using a trench for burying USE cable in residential areas, it's always said that the requirement was 18", but as I read in the code it's actually 24" unless it's under a residential driveway or parking area. I'm talking about a normal run to a out building from a main panel not running under any concrete or not in conduit. Am I the only one that's been with this assumption? I've think I've even had inspectors tell me 18" before. Any thoughts on this??? Thanks...
Also when driving ground rods for a subpanel in a detached building, I'm under the assumption that it is still (2) ground rods at least 6ft. apart and attached to the grounding bar in the subpanel...???
