Thanks, I started out with the idea that I'd be using T&E cable though
perhaps individual wires are more suitable. But then again, if that is
so, why would anyone be running 2 T&E cables through conduit?


Saves buying the singles? They have thicker insulation than stripped TW&E.
And IIRC only come in 100 mtr drums - dunno anyone that sells cut lengths.


Is stripped T&E a realistic option for a small job? If so, does the
earth wire have to be sheathed throughout it's length?
