 RR Cabel presents Short Circuit Sesuraksha, powered by News 18 Networks While PVC and flexible wires are still the first choice in India, Ireland reserves the first spot to ban PVC wires and cables completely. Countries like the UK are debating over the use of inferior material, safety guidelines and technological advancements post the London fire accident. In this situation, low smoke zero halogen wires are seemingly becoming the future on the global platform. So why do they have two components? One is conductor, second is insulation. So in India, the low smoke zero halogen wire is available now. In India also that NVC has came with that in high-rise building and commercial they need to go low smoke zero halogen. But how many people know this? Why low smoke zero halogen? Because people died not because of fire but because of smoke. See reason of smoke is maximum short circuit, reason of death or wealth loss, both. Human loss and wealth loss because of smoke. When fire takes place, because of smoke you are unable to see your exit from where you have to go. And it's difficult to breathing. So when you are unable to, you don't know how to go. So place like upad theater or like restaurant, there is stamping that happens. If you only see four people, if somebody wants to escape you, he don't know where you are. So smoke he cannot enter into Savio. And you want to go out, you cannot go out. So smoke is the biggest challenge. So not only in electrical, like PVC candidate pipe, wire or anything in house, PVC should not use it. Because PVC is a dark smoke, corrosive, toxic. The other side of the coin is high rise buildings. Where more than the home owners, developers and consultants play the major role in designing and choosing the right material across plumbing to electrical wire rings to fire safety. The cost effective choice being aluminium wires and cables. The safety consideration almost becomes bare minimum. They focus on first of all how much requirement will be there. How much the connection load factor calculating this to the size of cable. Now ideally what they should focus on, the safety also. And long because high rise building and commercial building we need to understand the life of any building is almost 100 years. And what will be future requirement according to this solution. Like in high rise building and commercial building worldwide nowadays even India also is changing from their cable to their shifting to bus duct. Some people call bus duct, bus way, bus riser which is the most safest. Among any cable if you look into the high rise building and commercial building it has to be bus duct on the outside area. In terms of wire, now India also that NBC has come with the new rules. They need to have a class 2 conductor, low smoke, zero legend wire. And now fire survival cable has to be now copper. So these are major, you need connections from ground to building, building to high rise building, then inside and the fire survival cable. So there are 3-4 categories of wire and cable are there. Developer and consult they should look into really which products, companies are making very good quality wire, which are the company who has not compromised your quality. So they should focus on that and the size. In the average age of a building being close to 70 years the reliability of the substance behind walls is as important as the material used in beautifying the house interiors. The erosion on the coating of wires in old buildings, poor maintenance of underground fittings and fewer emergency equipment installations than required. Such as fire alarms, extinguishers and smoke detectors are critical reasons behind everyday breaking news of massive fires in commercial properties. So wire guru, what advice would you give to our consumers and builders to ensure they prioritize wire safety in their projects? In India our country, neither builders, neither contractor, consultants they are very much focused on safety. Because we have been living in this country for so many years without safety also we become very successful. But now the way electrical users go on up, usually in one house how many wires were there, how many plugs were there, in common house one tube light, one fan, that time is gone now. Because we are surrounded with electrical wires and bundles in any house. So now its focus is required. The biggest challenge is because this product goes behind the walls. So nobody takes an interest and nobody is serious about this. Builders I request, don't squeeze contractor for the prices more. And rather than when you are negotiating, talk on quality parameter, talk on which product they will use and which are for the safety purpose. Now in every city, even in places like Borodha, even in places like Indore or Thai 2, Thai 3 city also the high-rise buildings are coming. And the high-rise building, more high-rise, you need more precaution of safety. So it has to be no smoke, you know, laser wire, right size of conductor. So if you don't have right kind of product, then signs of short circuit, short circuit then fire and then smoke. So smoke is the biggest dangerous thing in life. People, we as a headline we read that people die because of fire. But people die because of smoke. But nobody understanding the difference between smoke and fire. So in my opinion, whichever the product, not only wiring, chipper and docking, but as a, because since I know wire guru as electrical, but plumbing is also there, fire products are there, 3-4 products are there, where safety is required and we should be very much focused as a builder, as a consultant, as a contractor and as a consumer all together. Remembering the horrifying Upahar case, where more than 105 people died due to suffocation and unsuccessful evacuation or the blazing fire outrage in ESIC hospital Mumbai case. Where later in the investigation it was revealed that no safety measures were adopted in the hospital building, the substantial number of deaths and damage is soaring. Proper legislative provisions are required to prevent such casualties and curb the graph of short-circuit fires. So I would like to give a good example. See in the UK, in London properly, central London, in a high-rise building, one fire took place. Before that in the UK also, the inferior material, not like in India, but then few inferior materials there. Just because of one fire, the question is parliament. Government made an immediate committee. They concentrated all the material, right? And now they, in high-rise building, they change the law. They cannot use this PVC wire or FRS wire. It has to be low-smoke, you know, wire. In particular size of building, you know, they change all the law. In India, in 1997, in Upahar theater, 105 people died. And everyone knows they died because of smoke. Still now, many multiplexers are coming. We know that almost in India, every month you could do multiplex. But did the law change? No. Still they use PVC wire. Again, sometimes fire will take place, people die. In Amri Hospital, people die because of smoke. Does all the hospitals change the law? No, you can use anything. In question classes. So wherever the public is there, first of all, you should have a smoke-free everything. Not only why I am telling you. Everything should be smoke-free. Because when people, commercial places, density of people is very high. Like in house, you can have 1000 square feet or 10 square feet. You'll have 4 people, 8 people, 10 people. When office average is 40 square feet, when people are sitting, it is an average. In public places like theater, public places like hospital, public places like government offices, or anywhere. And first of all, we need to understand that there is not much a cause difference there. It's just a simple mindset. Because Chalega is the biggest challenge in our India. Number two, we, the product is going behind the wall. So we don't focus at all. And whenever somebody appoints an electrical contractor or electric, electrician, they try to excuse them anything. India being the largest growing economy and its immensely growing infrastructure has driven downside by being non-environmentally friendly and life-threatening over the last period. Now, it is time that a safer ecosystem that also minimizes electrical impairment takes the place of the PVC infused arteries and veins of the lifeline of our dream houses. As a step towards a greener and shielded future, Delhi Metro has recently made some mandatory changes to their electrical standards. They are now phasing out the PVC wires and installing halogen-free low-smoke cables across stations. A nod to change here is eminent and necessary. Most of the awareness is required and internal change we need because we are too much focused as a human being or as a businessman or if I am making my own house or I am making as a builder, so I would like to showcase what is good looking from outside. So what I say believe that unless you are not inner changes there, external changes of no use. If you are not inner-side healthy, how beautiful you are, how handsome you are, it's up to you. So rather than focus on exterior or outside, we should focus into more of more inner. Never compromise on safety. Electrical products are very sensitive products. This may make a loss of your family, yourself, your wealth, all together. With our next episode talking about RR Kabul and their flagship products, we will delve deep into the manufacturing process of how low-smoke zero-halogen wires add their Vadodra plant. Learning the complex process of wire making, different types of metal users, which cares and more. We will be going on a sparkful journey with our wire guru, Mr. Capra, of their ambition of providing short-circuit-se-sur-aksha. Till then, stay tuned.
