When I ran 400' of wire to my barn for my 220V welder, the electrician I asked said that to be to code it was supposed to be in conduit. However, he said that taking the situation into consideration (on my own property; I would know not to dig near it, etc) that he would use direct burial (UF) wire. That is what I used and haven't had any problems. The outer insulation on that stuff is really tough.

Good luck,
Bill
