Big Jimbo Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Main electrics are going in detached garage. I'm going to need a sub main run to the main house. Going between the garage and the house, I will bury it 450 to 600mm deep. Once inside the house can I lay it across the ground to the other side of the building, under the block and beam, or do I need to bury it.

TonyT Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Well it’s meant to be adequately supported it’s entire length, so if it was in a duct it would supported, if it’s laying on the floor it’s the same but the reg warriors would say it’s needs clipped every xxx cm. I wouldn’t worry about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuerteStu Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 So long as there isn't the opportunity for movement in it is not a huge deal.. Provided you don't have a history of badgers or similar in the area, they can make a real mess of cables on the ground Make sure it's thoroughly fixed at each end and I don't just mean a tight cable gland. If there's the potential for it to be yanked or stood on, you don't want it being pulled out of its terminals. I saw a sweeping bend of swa rip out of a DB because a labourer was bumping over it with a wheelbarrow of concrete.. Doesn't take much to cause a problem if its not fixed properly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
