Split Concentric Cable

[RobFurn]

Anyone worked with split concentric cable much. Pros and cons etc. Im thinking in terms of vs SWA

 

[Steve]

I havent, but it is easier to terminate, requires no special tools or spanners it is smaller and lighter than SWA. It should be more widely available, IMO.

I used to call my ex "spanner-face" 'cos every time i looked at her, my nuts tightened.

In my time I've only seen one sort of person use concentric cable - the man from the DNO

I know two sparks on here who use it.









(Clue: I'm one of them)

Its easier to make off, its smaller, its lighter, it can be terminated straight into insulated CUs, and why not use it?

No reason for not using it, just never seen anyone (apart from DNO) use it in 19 years.Is it readily available at wholesalers, as I've never asked for it!

ricicle - Hopefully you never will use CONCENTRIC on an install, but maybe some SPLIT CONCENTRIC

Good links "Lectrician" Thanks. Any tables on CCC or do you suppose it will be the same a standard PVC?

I've tried all my local wholesalers and no-one carries it!

they can all order reels, I guess, but I don't need that much -- anyone got 25m of 4mm they don't need?

Not wanting to continue that old post, why are there only 3 wires in this meter:

Surely cutting that neutral would disable the meter? It looks very messy and clumsy. What happened here?
