Client does not want cable tray,Swa’s are 3c 6.00mm

Why do you need 2 supplies for an A/C unit?

2 Ac units each rated at 40amps

Ac units are external the inside units are powered from this unit,like you say control & power.

I assume they need to be feed separately from their own breakers?

As I have been out of the game for a while can you run a single multi core SWA feeding two units from two breakers correctly labelled and then split at a box? Or is this not possible?

Apologies for the silly question its just out of interest.

interesting... you could say that 4cores of SWA, 2 for each circuit, is similar to running 4 singles in conduit.

you could make your own little brackets from the solid all round band type stuff, not the hole type but the black solid type, it would look nice, just drilling the 2 holes in each one would be a pain lol, still give you something to do Tel

Is it possible for you to run 1 x steel conduit or PVC if the enviroment suits, then wire both circuits in singles. Just a thought

I'm amazed no one has suggested clipping one armoured and ty wrapping the other to it lol, your all scared you will get a hammering for suggesting it, were all waiting for the victim to arrive haha
