Fire suppression for electrical cabinets

Electricity is the most common cause of fire in Germany, accounting for one third of all fires. In most cases, the technical triggers for fires caused by electricity can be traced back to loose cable connections, cable breaks or overloads. Supposedly minor causes quickly turn into major hazards.

Typical areas where fires caused by electricity occur:

Switch cabinets and control panels
Transformers and transformer rooms
Cable ducts
Emergency power generators / engine rooms

Fire suppression systems for electrical areas

Fire suppression systems for electrical fires must meet special requirements in order to work. One of the biggest challenges when fighting fires in electrical areas is the choice of extinguishing agent. Water is ruled out here due to its electrical conductivity, as it would cause more damage than it would prevent. CO² and other gases have both advantages and disadvantages. Although they can fight electrical fires, they sometimes pose a great danger to people and require a high level of tightness and pressure relief.

Stat-X® aerosol fire suppression systems

The solution

Stat-X® aerosol fire suppression systems combine the most effective way of extinguishing a fire at the initial stage with cost efficiency thanks to minimal installation and maintenance costs. Thanks to their space-saving design, Stat-X® aerosol fire suppression systems can also be installed directly in control cabinets, false floors or ceilings. This allows fires to be extinguished directly at the source before the fire can spread to surrounding equipment or buildings and cause major damage.
