Discuss Swa 4core cable used as two 2core circuits in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I'll also throw in 'grouping factors'
 
I would suggest if the cable got damaged and a fault occurred on one circuit only that it should shut down the whole cable, I would personally use a 4 pole breaker and clear labelling, then split at load end.

The regs really don't cover methods like this but if approached logically then not a problem in my honest opinion.
 
This isn't necessary and would not happen if the cable contained a single three phase circuit with protection by way of individual fuses.
