Fires that break out in electrical panels may cause significant damage. Approximately a quarter of fires in industrial and commercial buildings occur in electrical panels. Fires that start in enclosed panel areas and can be noticed too late may cause loss of life and property.
With the FIPRES Early Fire Hazard Detection products, which we are representing, we can detect overheating points inside the panels before a risk occurs. With its patented technology, FIPRES detects the fire hazard caused by overheating points inside the panels at an early phase. Overheating information can be transmitted to the fire alarm panel or the SCADA system in the facility through the temperature sensors, which can be quickly installed inside the panel. Real-time notifications and event recording can be made through SMS messages.
