    "armoured" would indicate Canada or the continent. 120 or 240VAC? 600 watts isn't much. Burial depth depends on your electrical code.

    The OP is almost certainly in Canada. They have a commonly used cable, Teck (sp?) cable, that is a coated armored cable rated for direct burial. Here in the US we can get a coated MC cable that is pretty much the same, but no one uses it.
