B&D, what's your beef with Al for direct burial? I don't know about Canada, but in the US almost all direct burial is done with aluminum. 4/0 copper gets to be a little pricey.

| Aluminum wire just gives more problems with loose arcing terminal points. Aluminum wire seems to suffer more under ground failures failures too.

| I've also seen too many problems with AL wire.
If someone were to insist on using AL, I would recommend going 2 or 3 sizes larger rather than the 1 size over that code calls for.
Also PVC conduit is not very expensive. If you ever have a problem you will be glad you put it in conduit. Besides by going over size with the conduit, if tomorrow you wish/need more power, you can replace what you put in with larger wire.
Why go to the work of digging a trench and not leaving a hole, conduit ?
