That steel conduit is just there for mechanical protection. The cable inside the pipe has its own insulation and you can assume its integrity is still good if its still working fine. I wouldn’t upgrade the protective device myself. If youd had no issues with the circuit then all id do is get a galvanised cable/pipe protector and cover the rusting pipe. (Im an electrician 🤙)

Cool thanks, I also didn’t realize it could be buried like that straight into asphalt so it all felt pretty weird. I’ll be replacing it to at least keep it safer than it is now. Even though there’s no reason why someone would be using one by the garage, I was just imagining someone accidentally hitting it with a weed wacker or something.

Is the cable actually directy buried and not in a pipe? It should be in conduit wherever its underground or exposed to potential damage like Your weed wacker. It looks like that pipe goes underground which is why i wasnt worried haha.
