A single core cable (used as part of a final circuit) only has a layer of PVC insulation
around its copper core. It has no sheath.
Which of the followinmg statement is TRUE?
The cable cannot be used for circuits supplying SSOs.
The cable has a very high current carrying capacity.
The cable has to be run in a cable trunking or conduit.
The cable can only be used in lighting circuits.

The statement “The cable must be run in a cable trunking or conduit” is true. This is because, without a sheath, the single core cable requires additional protection to safeguard it from mechanical damage and to ensure safety within the installation. Running it in trunking or conduit also helps maintain organization and reduces exposure to environmental factors.

Additionally, while the cable may have a decent current-carrying capacity depending on its cross-sectional area, it’s important to note that usage is restricted. This means it isn’t suitable for all applications, particularly in environments where protection, safety, and compliance with regulations are critical. Always consult relevant codes when working with electrical installations!
