How high above finished grade must direct-buried conductors or cables be protected?

6 feet
7 feet
8 feet
9 feet

The correct answer is: 8 feet

Direct-buried conductors or cables must be protected when they are above finished grade at a height of 8 feet. This requirement is in place to ensure safety by preventing accidental contact with the conductors or cables during activities such as maintenance, landscaping, or construction. The height of 8 feet is standard for areas where equipment might cross paths with these installations, ensuring that proper clearance is maintained to avoid electrical hazards. When installed correctly at this height, the risk of physical damage or unintended interactions with the conductors is minimized, promoting overall safety for both individuals and property in proximity to the installation.
