When using a copper split bolt connector on 120V wire what is the best way to protect it when it needs to be waterproof and underground?
Zellers1944
Split bolt connectors are a mechanical connection and are not approved for underground splices. Use an approved C clamp or butt splice hypress connection for the splice. Install heat shrink over the wire before making the splice, to seal the connection for underground waterproofing.

Why copper loss is called variable loss?
Cu loss means I^2*R loss so it depends on R and I.If we make wire more resistive it means it will increase the value of R so copper loss will be increase.So to concentrate on wire size we can vary the R value and can protect the copper loss.So it is called variable loss.

What type of copper is typically run underground?
Type L or Type K copper pipe is typically used for underground applications. These types of copper pipe have thicker walls than Type M copper pipe, making them more suitable for underground installation where they may be exposed to greater pressure or potential damage. Additionally, this thicker wall helps to prevent corrosion and allows for increased durability underground.
