[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 335664, member: 9512"] 1) 4 or 5 of my local wholesalers do, and 2 of them would be nationals, also try cpc, Farnell, & RS if you are stuck, maybe even Maplin. 2) Not quite, you CAN use splitcon, but it must be treated as flex as it does not have an earthed outer, as the N conductor is only insulated & sheathed. As I have said above you would have to protect the splitcon as a flex, and if a flex (or flat twin & cpc) needed RCD protection then the splitcon would also. Seriously unless you can arrange earthed mechanical protection that is out of sight to meet the client requirements then MICC is probably your best bet, just make sure you make it off correctly.
