Hi,

I have an application where i need to install 1000VDC cables between 24 containers. The connection between containers should be in series. I am considering 500kcmil cables for the connecting cables. However, i would like to have your opinion regarding the cost for the following three options:

1. Use conduit with cable and buried underground
2. Use raceways with cable above ground
3. No conduit, just bury the 500kcmil cable between containers

Which one you think would be cheaper? Do you see any pros and cons between this 3 options?

I would deeply appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks
Arif
