 Today, when we wake up in the morning, the first thing we hear is the noise of construction happening around us. In this world of construction, one element is often overlooked, yet undeniably crucial, the wiring that forms the lifeblood of our homes and public spaces. While electrical safety is non-negotiable, data on fatal short-circuit incidents and deaths caused by it are increasing. Today we embark on an illuminating journey, shedding light on the paramount importance of wires, the precise selection and the basis behind often-occurring electrical fire accidents. With Mumbai and Delhi being at the top of the list, the data points out that most electrical fire accidents are led due to poor maintenance of fittings, ignoring fundamental aspects during selection and, most importantly, not having sound knowledge of the potential risks and new age technology embedded in products. As the wire guru and pioneer of engineering excellence in the electrical world, Mr.Kabra, owner of the 30-year-old venture RR Kabul, is resolving the queries of our home owners and sharing a glimpse of his futuristic and advanced vision for fire safety and beyond. Not just the end consumer, but also the manufacturing units need to keep and check the quality and material they are using while processing the components together. It becomes their duty to produce hazard-safe material in compliance with industry regulations, thus providing the utmost protection. So why do you believe that this is necessary as a compliance reach and ROSH is necessary for us? The entire world has a mandatory, not in India. The compliance of ROCH's reach has thousands of products that are available every six months or a year in Europe. So it becomes environmentally friendly to make and use it. And the thousands of products become less. So this is its advantage. So when we talk further, we will talk about other products. So I think this is also a good thing to do here. We mostly talk about Class 2, Class 5 wire. So if you can tell in short, what is this? Why does Class 2 become important to us? First of all, I want to tell you that the Class 2 flexible wire is also technically wrong. So Class 5 is also different from that. Because in the whole world, only India, Mauritius and Session, because we are all Indians, that is why we go there. In the rest of the world, because there is no wire anywhere. The 7-strand wire, the 2-strand wire is actually the right wire. What happens is that we all know that the electrician, to use any wire, has to be removed from both the wires. And the people of Kshetaka still remove it from their mouth. So when you remove the wire, the wire of the Class 5 conductor is more thin and the strength is more. So when I remove the wire from this side, some of the wire pieces go out of it. Some of the wire pieces go out of here. Both are never the same. So what happens is that you buy 1.5 kg wire, you give 1.5 kg money, and when it is used, it becomes 1.5 kg. That is why the Class 5 conductor also removes the wire from Class 2. Ideally, the 2-strand wire should be removed, but it can be removed from the side. But Class 5 is really different. The population growth in India is reciprocating the load bearings of electrical webs and bundles in residence houses. It has become tough for homeowners to select the right wire out of the various available options and ensure the long life of electrical installations. However, most electrical contractors and technicians have been ignoring the fundamentals, leaving home owners with high risks and potential threats hidden behind their house walls. Home owners, first of all, they need to understand this sincerity and challenge of wire. It's a general tendency of anyone. They look and focus on what is looking outside. What is going inside is not there. Though our country has grown at a pretty big level, but then electrical products is a big challenge. Whether it's a rural area, it's a tire-to-city, or it's a city itself. The house is an asset. The house is a home. They need to care. And because this wire is a big challenge in India, of course, our standards are low, looking to a global standard. And the inferior material, the superior material is also a little bit of a market. And never try to squeeze electrician or electrical contractor. Rather than squeezing, ask them with the perfect material, use the perfect material and pay more. Because the changing of wire is going to be a big challenge because it's going behind the wall. And anything you use in a home, everything is electrical or electronic. But you choose the best TV, best freeze, best oven, best mobile. But if the product which is giving the current, if it is not that good, it's going to be a challenge. So there are a lot of new things are available. The best products are available in the market. And in total as a whole, the cost difference is almost negligible. Two factors, wire insulation and proper size, play a pivotal role in safeguarding the utmost lifeline of the house. The practice of undersized wires selling and the unregulated cable market is high in India. With most of them being unfriendly to the ecosystem and dangerous for the victim in case of an electrical fire. Generally they use the size of wire on today's requirement. But we all know that when we make house today, and specifically look into last 10 years or 15 years, what, how many gadgets have come in the home? Previously when 30 years or 40 years before in one house, it used to be one light, one fan, one light in the bathroom, one exhaust fan, one light for geyser, that's all. Today now each room you have a TV. You may not have today, but tomorrow you'll have. Then you need a mobile charger. Even in a room husband, we have two people, minimum two mobile. Nowadays people keep two mobile, so two to four mobile. So you need in future what is the requirement? Because you cannot change wire every now and then. So then you need should be a good size of wire, good insulation of the wire. As I told you, see still in India we feel that effortless wire is the most safest. But I would like to tell you that effortless wire is nowhere in the world. Only India, which we call as Jogalu, is there. Why the flexible wire is there in India? Because in India originally the house wire was therefore a small industry. So one corporate came, he started making flexible wire. That's why why in India house wire is a pick up 90 meter. Last 45 years to still the retail in wire is 90 meter. There is no logic, either you should be 100 year or 100 meter. But still it was phase saving or to however means nobody can understand this is house wire. So this can be 90 meter. So it's a technically wrong product. Sir, can you please elaborate on the selling of undersized wire and its potential in the market? The undersized wire is there in market, but it's very less. But more than wire, cable is the biggest challenge. See wire only undersized, I found it especially in Bombay and SRA buildings because a lot of SRA fires are there. I came to know that people are using in spite of 1.5 square meter, 1.8 square meter, 1.7 square meter. And more than that, but now many is just e-com, electrical connection between Maharashtra. That is PWD. They have not increased price for last 15 years. And still they are doing same job. So what they are doing, they are using non-standard, non-BIS wire in spite of 1.5 square meter, they use 0.6 square meter and 0.7 square meter which is not legally allowed. So this is a big challenge is there. But in cable, I can tell you that almost 70% cable in India sold by all the players is undersized. Very few companies are there which they are not compromising, but maximum. RR Cabel presents Short Circuit Srisuraksha, powered by News 18 Networks.
