• kalau = if
• jika = if

• Sekiranya litar pintas berlaku...
• Jika litar pintas berlaku...
• Kalau litar pintas berlaku...

The version with sekiranya sounds especially suitable for instructions, notices, manuals, or formal announcements.

• jika → neutral to formal
• sekiranya → more formal, often used in writing or official language

So in this sentence, sekiranya helps give the whole statement a more serious, procedural tone.
