Electrical FAQ — Ruaka

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable size do I need for household wiring in Kenya?+
Standard residential wiring in Kenya uses:

2.5mm² twin and earth — ring main circuits (sockets)
1.5mm² twin and earth — lighting circuits
4mm² or 6mm² twin and earth — cooker/oven circuits
10mm²–16mm² armoured SWA — main supply from meter to consumer unit

Always follow your licensed electrician's design — cable sizing depends on circuit length, load, and installation method.
How many MCBs do I need for a 3-bedroom house?+
A 3-bedroom house in Kenya typically has 6–10 circuits: lighting zones (2–3 circuits), socket ring mains (2–3 circuits), cooker (1 circuit), geyser/water heater (1 circuit), and possibly external (1 circuit). Each circuit needs its own MCB. A 8-way or 12-way consumer unit is the standard choice, leaving room for future additions. Your licensed electrician will design the exact circuit layout.
Do I need an RCD in my consumer unit?+
Yes. An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a safety requirement for modern electrical installations in Kenya, providing protection against electric shock. The Kenya Wiring Regulations (based on IEC 60364) require RCD protection for bathroom circuits, outdoor circuits, and increasingly for all circuits. A consumer unit with a main RCD or individual RCBOs per circuit is the recommended standard.
Do you deliver electrical supplies to sites in Kiambu County?+
Yes. Pioneer Hardwares delivers electrical materials to construction sites across Ruaka, Banana Hill, Ndenderu, Kihara, and the wider Kiambu County area. WhatsApp us your site location and the materials you need for a delivery quote.
