BLUE sheathed cables are used for intrinsically safe circuits, such as in expolsive atmospheres in chemical plants and refineries. (or in my case, oil rigs and production platforms). There is, or was, an international standard covering this.
And strangely enough, when I was still involved, the type of electricity that we used didn't give stuff whether the cable was flat or round!

It has NOTHING to do with air cons or refrigeration, especially in the power circuits. It is also very doubtful if the control circuits are likely to be affected by induction, and if they are the colour of the cable sheath is NOT going to stop it! If in particular installations induction is a problem then use shielded cable as Rick has posted.

I think that this may have been dreamt up by the same idiot that refers to automotive wiring cables as B&S, and then adds two different figures for the same cable in sq'mm just because the insulation has a higher temperature rating!

The one we are talking about is different, its just flat 3 core and earth, building wire, cheap Chinese stuff.
Well what isn't these days?

Haha, that's for future Rick to worry about.

Yes, it is a marketing gimmick to sell crap! I am well out of it now, but is there any reference in the rules about using blue cables for air cons?

I will concede that modern computerised control systems MAY require separate cabling, even screened. But being blue in colour is not going to improve it.

This future Rick. Does he get dressed up in Space Clobber of silver Material complete with A Deironiser Gun (whatever that is these days)

Jet Pak, a nice Trilby space helmet & all the goods? Yes? Weird bastard.

Ooh, I like that.

Beam me up, Scotty!

Now onto a 40+ year old Muscat after dinner.
Seriously wow.
