ELECTRIC PANEL FIRE SUPPRESSION

We recently installed our Clean Agent automatic fire suppression systems on six electric panels at a UK creamery site. Using Reacton 1230, this solution is ideal for food production environments where non-conductive, residue-free fire suppression is essential to protect sensitive electrical equipment.

 

How Fireward’s Clean Agent System Works

Our Clean Agent system is designed for enclosed electrical assets and activates immediately upon flame detection:

  • Pneumatic Detection – Tube bursts when exposed to flame, releasing pressure and activating the system

  • Clean Agent – Suppresses fire without leaving residue or damaging components

  • Direct Release – Agent is discharged directly through the burst hole in the detection tube

Fire Risks in Electric Panels

Electric panels are vulnerable to overheating, arcing, and electrical faults — all of which can spark fires if left unchecked. In food production settings, this risk can threaten both safety and production continuity.

 

Built-in Fire Protection for Electric Panels

Fireward’s automatic fire suppression systems offer fast, targeted protection for electric panels, reducing the risk of electrical fires and maintaining operational uptime.
