Of course it dosent matter now seeing that you have found another solution however wanted to put this out there so no one else gets hoodwinked by BG

I have cables that run underground to my garage for my EVSE and PW2 and no one suggested that it needed to be 9ft deep. I am pretty sure that the 11000 volt mains cable that runs across the same piece of land isn’t that deep.
