That has a CPC in the 3 cores spoon. You should not sleeve the CPC and use it for a phase obviously.
Funny...I had to dig out/remove SY cables in a garden previously owned by an electrician...it had part turned black over time and braid was rusty ..not fit for the outdoor life.
Surely these two statements are mutually exclusive?Never had any issues.
Only issues was water ingress

How can you say there were never any issues then immediate after that describe an issue?
Most systems will give you issues if damage has occurred!!
In most cases damage occurs as a result of poor design or inadequate protection. And the what happens after damage has occurred is also important.
Not really sure where your heading with this, SY has a place along with all other cables, methods etc
You select, design accordingly !
Are you saying you have SY in a constant flexing motion on a machine here or am I reading this wrong?
You are also saying you install a pvc outer sheath cable in an environment where it is subject to oil?
The difference I would suggest is a cable flexing 1000 - 10,000 times before breakdown and 10million and also a pvc degrading within 2-5 yrs or lasting 20yrs subject to and nature of the chemical oils.
Are you providing a machine that requires costly services every few yrs after warranty of a machine runs out or one that will last, trust me I know the difference just from a visual inspection.
