The reason for my original post is because for the last 25 years, we've had an unwritten policy that MC Cable shouldn't be used at our facility. However, no one that I've asked can provide the rationale for our policy other than that's the way we've always done it. There are valid reasons for being more restrictive than the code such as operational constraints, environmental considerations, experience, etc, but I like to provide the rationale behind any restrictions we impose.
I'm guessing our restriction on the use of MC Cable may be because we require all premises wiring to be installed in raceways with wiring installed after the raceways are completed. Another reason might be the fact that we required EGC's to be pulled in with the other conductors and original BX cable didn't have a separate EGC, but that's not the case with MC Cable. The third reason might be the perception that MC Cable in an industrial facility was less tolerant to abuse than the other wiring methods we used, and we extended the requirement to use raceways in all of our facilities regardless of occupancy or use type.
