Wire the same as service entrance conductors starting with230.6 and it will lead you to 230.32 and then to 230.43 for different wiring methods

Underground service conductors shall be protected against damage in accordance with 300.5. Service conductors entering a building or other structure shall be installed in accordance with 230.6 or protected by a raceway wiring method identified in 230.43.

Thank you.

The code was much more clear to me on wiring methods from the controller to the pump.
