    Hi

    Does anyone know can you buy three core and earth with the new insulated earth CPC?

    I was looking to buy some to wire a 2 way switch.

    I can see with old type of earth but not the new one.

    Thanks

    Any electrical wholesalers should be able to sort you out such as Kellighers, NEW, Eurosales....

    3 core and earth with the new insulation is surprisingly not as widely available as it should be, I've found it hard to get.

    I went to wholesalers yesterday and they only had NYMJ, I asked about three core and earth and they said they don't stock it.

    I was told for two way switches most electricians use twin brown and earth is that correct?

    Is most wiring on lighting in new builds done in 1.5 twin and earth or is single core cable still used?
