AC and Induction Use: Avoid Fines, High Bills & Accidents
•Simultaneous use of ACs and induction cookers with other appliances can strain home power supply, leading to increased electricity bills and potential fines from Mahavitaran.
•Using more electricity than your sanctioned load can result in notices and penalties from the electricity department.
•High load without MCBs can cause wire burns, short circuits, or frequent fuse blows, damaging appliances and posing accident risks.
•A typical induction stove (2 kW) and AC (1.2-1.5 kW) can push home load to 5-6 kW, potentially exceeding sanctioned limits.
•Manage appliance usage by staggering high-power devices, increasing sanctioned load, and avoiding simultaneous operation to prevent high bills and safety hazards.
