The use of Tru-rip wire(single insulated) has been outlawed here for years, but every now and then a DIYer gets prosecuted for using it for fixed wiring, this cable by virtue of its size(0.5-0.75mm2) will only handle 5A at the most, but it is never fused properly, is it. This has burnt a large number of houses down.
