What Makes an Anchor Switch Special?

1. Legacy & Trust

Anchor has been a household name in electrical fittings for decades. After being acquired by Panasonic, it has leveraged global standards and improved manufacturing capabilities.

2. Safety & Quality Materials

Anchor switches, including those in the Roma line, use PC (Polycarbonate) and Urea materials of V-0 grade, which help with flame retardance and longevity.

3. Design & Finish

The Roma series offers a slim & sleek design with a super glossy finish, and curved cover plates to add a touch of elegance.The toggle mechanism in Roma is designed for quieter operation and durability.

4. Range & Flexibility

From 1-module one-way switches to multi-gang switches, sockets, dimmers, and fan regulators, the Roma line is broad and versatile. Cauvery Powers lists these variants clearly in their catalog.

5. Safety Standards & Certifications

Anchor ensures its switches comply with BIS / ISI standards (for Indian safety norms). The use of materials like flame-retardant plastics and secure terminals adds to the safety aspect.
