It depends on the voltage and if it is a branch ciriut or a service. If it is under 30 v olts 6 inches will work. If it is 120 volt branch circiut it needs to be on a GFI, on a 20a breaker and either in a condiut or uf cable to be 12 in . If it is not on a gfi , and it is over 20 a then it must be 18 in. Regardless the wire must be in condiut or be of UF cable to make it water tight.

The depth requirement for underground electric house wire varies depending on the type of wire and local building codes. As a general guideline, direct burial cables should be buried at least 18 inches deep in non-freezing soil. It is advisable to consult with a licensed electrician or your local building department for specific depth requirements in your area.
