How deep do you bury electric wiring?

Answer by  harwoodkp (376)

Marke the area where the wire is to be buried. Check with utility companies for safety. Dig a trench checking for depth. Put wire in conduit. Connect wires and bury.

You'll have to check with your township to know for sure, but usually anything beyond six feet is deep enough that it won't pose a threat to anyone or any animals.

Depends on the wiring. Service Entry cable will be buried according to your power company requirements and will most likely be packed with sand, gravel and then covered with dirt. If you are running a branch circuit from your panel use conduit or underground cable and then put it down at least 2 feet. Make a diagram for future reference!!!!!
