I would have thought that fine stranded would be OK without a ferrule in any terminal where the screw doesn't bear directly on the conductor. Cage clamp, for example.Any fine stranded conductor must be terminated with either a ferrule or crimp or similar.
The only exception is when using it with specially designed spring loaded terminals.

Well there is an actual reg covering this not that I can remember it off the top of my head, but no, even cage terminals need a ferrule or similar. Over time the fine conductors will still settle inside the cage and it will prove to be a loose connection over time.
With spring loaded terminals, the pressure is constant even when the copper settles. So it avoids the issue.
Hi guysI've used 150, 185 and 240mm trip flex on large installs before contained in metal trunking.
Is there any reason I can't use 35mm for a 100amp 3phase install contained in plastic trunking? Bend radius and access is going to be tricky and a pain with solid core.
