Direct Buried cables within a controlled area and what constitutes mechanical protection

Former Community Member

Hello 


I have a  query raised by a client stating that a PV solar Generation site built on agricultural land is non compliant due to direct buried cables. 

Some of the DC string cable is direct buried roughly at 600 depth laid within  cable sand and protection tape over. 

The cable spec is EU and states is suitable for direct burial. 

The protection system constantly monitors the  insulation resistance and dis engages the inverter upon fault. 

The client has stated a non compliance due that no mechanical protection has been installed underground but all cables above ground are mechanically protected.

    Did the client require/specify a BS7671 compliant installation and left it to the designer/constructor/inspector&tester to achieve this?


    A simple yes or no would suffice......
