Lucknow mein bahut saare ghar 20-30 saal purane hain jahan ki wiring kabhi replace nahi hui. Purani wiring se fire ka sabse bada risk hota hai. National Crime Records Bureau ke according, India mein har saal thousands of fire incidents sirf faulty wiring ki wajah se hote hain. Is article mein hum aapko 5 warning signs batayenge jisse aap samajh sakenge ki aapke ghar ki wiring replace karni chahiye ya nahi.
1. Frequent Tripping of MCB/Fuse
Agar aapke ghar mein MCB baar-baar trip hota hai ya fuse repeatedly ud jaata hai, toh yeh purani wiring ka sign hai. Purani aluminium wiring modern appliances ka load nahi seh paati. Aaj kal AC, geyser, microwave, washing machine jaise heavy appliances hain jo zyada current draw karte hain. Purani wiring is load ko handle nahi kar paati aur MCB trip hota hai aapko protect karne ke liye.
2. Switchboard Se Sparking Ya Burning Smell
Yeh sabse dangerous warning sign hai. Agar aapke switches on/off karte time sparking hoti hai ya kisi switchboard se jalti hui smell aati hai, toh immediately electrician ko bulaayein. Yeh signs hain ki wiring ke connections loose hain ya wire ki insulation kharab ho gayi hai. Is situation ko ignore karna fire ka seedha invitation hai.
- Switch on karte time “pop” sound aana
- Switchboard se heat aana ya plastic pighlne ki smell
- Switch ya plug point pe black marks dikhna
- Wall ke andar se crackling sound aana
3. Discolored Ya Warm Outlet Plates
Apne ghar ke switch plates aur plug points ko regularly check karein. Agar yeh discolored (peele ya brown) ho rahe hain ya chhune mein garam lagte hain, toh wiring mein serious problem hai. Warm outlets ka matlab hai ki wire mein resistance zyada hai jo heat generate kar raha hai. Yeh heat dheere-dheere wire ki insulation ko pighlata hai aur short circuit cause karta hai.
4. Flickering Lights
Agar aapke ghar mein lights blink karti hain ya dim hoti hain jab aap koi heavy appliance chalate hain (jaise AC ya geyser), toh yeh sign hai ki wiring ka gauge (thickness) kam hai. Purane gharon mein typically 1.0 sq mm ki wire use hoti thi jo aaj ke appliances ke liye bilkul insufficient hai. Modern standards ke according, power circuits ke liye minimum 2.5 sq mm aur lighting ke liye 1.5 sq mm copper wire honi chahiye.
5. Aluminium Wiring Hai Aapke Ghar Mein
1990s se pehle ban-ne wale bahut saare gharon mein aluminium wiring use hui thi. Aluminium wiring copper ke comparison mein 55 times zyada fire-prone hoti hai. Aluminium expand aur contract karta hai heat se, jisse connections loose ho jaate hain. Agar aapke ghar mein aluminium wiring hai, toh jaldi se jaldi copper wiring se replace karwayein.
Old Wiring vs New Wiring Comparison
- Old Wiring: Aluminium conductors, rubber insulation, no MCB protection, no earthing
- New Wiring: Copper conductors, PVC insulation, MCB/RCCB protection, proper earthing
- Cost of rewiring: A typical 2BHK in Lucknow costs Rs. 25,000 – 45,000 for complete rewiring
- Time: 2-4 days for a full home rewiring depending on size
