I am planning to run some conduit outside from a pool pump room to a powered pool cover. 

 

I was wondering if there is a minimum height it must be above ground? 

 

Its just in case if it will house 240V power but I am pretty sure its going to be 12/24v power. 

 

Cheers

You can bury conduit with 240v so I doubt it

See here on page 31: https://www.energysafety.govt.nz/documents/legislation-policy/electricity-act-regulations-codes/standards-and-codes-of-practice/nz-electrical-codes-of-practise/NZECP%2028%201993%20New%20Zealand%20Electrical%20Code%20of%20Practice%20for%20Selection%20and%20Installation%20of%20Cables.pdf

 

No specific height described, but if above ground they need to be heavy duty conduit, or not near any location likely to receive mechanical damage.
