Tri-rated vs singles

[rick]

Is it OK to use tri-rated cable in conduit rather than singles (6491X)? Obviously of correct rating. If so, why would anyone buy singles as the tri-rated is cheaper and seems nicer to use (I have not used it before until very recently, hence the question).

Cheers

No, tri-rated cable is single insulated flexible conductors.
Thats like asking if you can get unarmoured SWA.

I think bigspark17 was asking about the finer stranded = easier to bend conductors.

Sadly never seen it, I really wish that size above say 10/16mm used 19-strand instead of 7 as cable-wrangling would be a whole lot easier
