I have an application where I have a meter pole wih 200 Amp service on a piece of property and I need to bring the service 400' underground up into the house. I was intending on using 4/0 copper direct burial. Is there any code against it?
I see section 300.5 were it specifies a cable depth and the marker 12" above the cable.
I see section 230.50 (A) that states conductors need to be sch 80 where subject to physical harm like between the trench and the meter can.
I envene see on 300.5 (e) wher I could splice it underground (which I have no intent of doing)
What I don't see is where cable rated by the manufacturer for direct burial needs to be in conduit or encased in concrete.
Any thoughts?
