Perhaps it's called 5 core? I think it has 5 wires inside and will power a separate fuse box in the garage.5 phase?
Sand, tape, then the soil you removed.
No. The warning tape myst be some distance above the SWA, that means a digger is warned of the cable before it gets hit.5 phase?

Indeed, but although I'm surprised to find myself defending him again, did not his "Sand, tape, then the soil you removed" say just that (exactly per the diagrams you posted) - the 'sand' being what creates that "some distance" between SWA and tape?No. The warning tape myst be some distance above the SWA, that means a digger is warned of the cable before it gets hit.

You are 'assuming'(and we all know about that!). You may, of course, be right, but I took him to be referring to what should go above the SWA (regardless of what was beneath it), in which case the sand mentioned would provide that 'margin'. However, as I've said, it all depends on what one 'assumes'.The diagram shows. Sand first then cable then more sand then tape then backfill. Winnie’s sequence gives no margin between cable and tape. Hence my comment.
“Sifted soil”No. The warning tape myst be some distance above the SWA, that means a digger is warned of the cable before it gets hit.
