Why isn't twin and earth cables used in commercial?

Former Community Member

I was always taught that twin and earth cables should be used in domestic only and singles/multicore in commercial? 

Why is that ? I mean there isn't anything wrong with using 1.5mm2 twin and earth with 1.0mm2 CPC for lighting circuits.

Regards,

    Agree, not in general prohibited by regulations, but often prohibited by client preferences or by consultants specifications.

    And twin with earth IS widely used for the cheaper end of the market, cafes, pubs, small shops and the like.
