Seriously, TRY and get an AI chat to give an answer without making stuff up. It is impossible. You can tell it "you made that data up, do not do that" ... and it will apologize and say you were right, then make up more dumb shit.
I looked up on google at one point what the minimum required depth for a cable running under a building is by NEC code. It told me it was 0 inches. I laughed and called it stupid, wtf do you mean 0 inches?? Upon further research, 0 inches is the correct answer, I felt real stupid after that -_-
Seems like a depth of 0 inches means you can just lay it on the floor?
No, it means 50% of the cable must be submerged or buried. Little speed bumps all around.
The 0 inches is to the top of the cable or raceway used, so it would be have to be at least perfectly flush with the ground. Obviously you can go lower.
As mentioned with the other guy, 0 inches is the requirement to the top of the cable or raceway used. So at minimum, you're allowed to be perfectly flush with the ground. Obviously you can and likely would go a little lower, although I don't have any experience with trenching myself.
