    Flat twin cable with sheathed CPC.

    I see they're introducing a new type of flat twin cable with a sheathed CPC. In my location there's no requirement to sleeve CPC/bonding conductors and you never see it done. We just install and arrange wiring in enclosures or DB's in such a way that there's no realistic chance of the...

    I had to replace a surface plug socket box after the plasterer destroyed the old stuff. It has black, red and earth wire, 3 of each and look quite thick (the earth wire looks like it should be used for barb wire abd isn't covered) Sticking all of that into a new faceplate isn't working so well...
