I've been thinking about cable for use with threephase disconnects a fair amount lately. I've been wondering what exactly the advantage is to using camlock, and running five separate cables for a disconnect, versus using a 5 wire cable in the first place. I think the only advantage I could come up with was being able to use an amp clamp easily. However, aren't you just running all the cables to the same place in the end? Could you cut down on the amount of rubber, or what-not, used in jacketing if all the conductors were in one cable? Not to mention time in running the cable? Lastly, doesn't it look neater to run one cable, as opposed to five?
Does anyone have an opinion on this matter?
