2-core SWA cabling

I’ve been doing some reading on the above, and some seem to suggest that the swa should not be relied upon for the CPC, what is the generally consensus on here, my thoughts are it appears to still be listed in the BBB, and in my opinion in certain conditions I.e. indoors so no risk of rust due to poor termination should be fine and if glanced correctly gives appropriate readings.

  • Looking at the CXT type, they look like the ones used for SY and similar braid with thinner wires - you can comb the 'hair' into pigtails, one tail per slot an then a locknut and washer  captures the pig tails to the body.

    I've not seen that type of slotted armour contact  for SWA - I;d imagine it is not so good to kink the thicker wires too sharply., and may be quite hard to do well.
