.4 KV This is low voltage system. For me, it is better to use copper wire than aluminum wire. Copper has a good conductivity than aluminum. You can choose any of these installation methods.

 

1. Use XLPE Cable, Double Steel Tape Armour or Steel Wired Armour in direct buried cable.

2. Use XLPE Cable, in PVC Pipe with Sand Bedding.
