In the North American market, solid core is used for home wiring where flexibility is not a problem with installation. Conduit systems use stranded wire because of its flexibility when being pulled into a conduit system that has multiple bends between pull boxes.

What are solid electrical cables and there applications?

A given crosssection or diameter of the conductor can be obtained by a single strand wire or with many smaller diameter wires put together. For example a 4 sqmm wire can be one solid wire of 4sqmm or can comprise many smaller diameter wires twined together. A solid wire is more rigid whereas multistrand wire is flexible. A solid wire may not need a terminating lug, whereas a multistrand wire needs a terminal lug for termination / connection to a terminal block
