Electrical Panel Fire Suppression Solutions

Electrical Panel Fire Suppression Solutions

According to statistics, approximately a quarter of fires break out in electrical panels and junction boxes. Fires may occur due to installation additions made in electrical panels that were installed in accordance with the techniques, loosening of the connection over time and aging of the switchgear devices. A fire in electrical panels or junction boxes is one of the most feared dangers for facility managers. Fires that break out in these closed spaces can be detected very late and may cause significant loss of life and property.

In-Panel Fire Extinguishing Systems are the safest way to protect from fires of this type. We offer solutions which are triggered by high temperature and flame and then automatically extinguish the fires starting inside the panels. In-Panel Fire Extinguishing Systems directly mounted to the electrical panels and junction boxes respond to a fire that may start inside the panel faster than the systems intended for space protection.

By means of these autonomous solutions that we quickly install with small budgets, we enable you extinguish the fire at source mostly without the need for activating the automatic extinguishing installation within the main space.

There are many points to be considered in the selection of an electrical panel fire suppression solution such as:

  • Sizes of your panels
  • Cable entries and non-closed openings used for ventilation purposes.
  • Natural or forced ventilation characteristics
  • Reactivation time after an activation
  • Pressure Equipment Directive, MSDS restrictions and similar OHS requirements, etc.
  • Your acceptable downtime after breakout of a fire
  • Requirements for integration with your fire alarm and other life and property safety systems
  • Your investment budget

By considering all these factors, we design and implement the most suitable electrical panel fire protection solutions for you based on three different technologies.
