Power Logic

Electrical wiring is the nervous system of your home. Choosing sub-standard wire or missing safety switches (RCCB) is a direct fire hazard.

The Wire Standard

Moderate Load

1.0 sq mm

Lighting points, Fans, Exhaust fans.

Standard Load

1.5 sq mm

Charging points, TV, Pantry sockets.

Heavy-Duty Load

2.5 sq mm

Washing machines, Microwaves, Fridge.

Extreme Load

4.0 - 6.0 sq mm

Air Conditioners, High-capacity Geysers, Main Line.

**Our Policy:** Sturdy Groups uses **FR (Fire Retardant)** wires only—they do not catch fire even during extreme overheating.

The Safety Trio

MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)

Protects: The Wires

If too many ACs are on, or there is a short circuit, the MCB "trips" (shuts off) to prevent the wire from melting and catching fire.

Standard Protection

RCCB / ELCB (Shock Protection)

Protects: YOUR LIFE

This is MANDATORY. It detects even tiny current leakage. If a child touches a live wire or a heater leaks current into water, this trips instantly (within 0.03 sec) and saves a life.

Proper Earthing

Most builders cut costs here. A proper **Chemical Earthing** or **Copper Pipe Earthing** is essential. It drains excess electricity into the ground. Without this, your body becomes the wire for that electricity during a device failure.
