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.

Electrical Panel Fire Suppression Systems, which are installed directly on electrical panels and junction boxes and automatically suppress the fires that may break out there triggered by high temperature and flame, are the safest way for protection against these types of fires.

Electrical panel fire suppression applications respond to panel fires more quickly than area protection systems. These autonomous solutions that can be quickly installed with small budgets often suppress a fire at its source without need to activate the automatic suppression system in the main area.

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.
