doubling cable over for termination?

[MerlinGremlin]

Working onsite with a few apprentices the other day and noticed that every cable they terminated into the mcb or rcbo was doubled over, so when I asked them why they were doing it there reply was college taught them to do it that way. Now I have always terminated the cable without doubling it over, so am I wrong or the college lecturer????

Double over where possible, common sense really.

Two 2.5 solid core conductors at a socket outlet, and you twist them together ? or am I reading you wrong?

when i said twist i meant stranded.

i usually never twist solid cores together except belling

Don't agree.......double over if necessary is more like common sense.
