Protect your Electrical Panels with our Automatic Fire Suppression Systems.

Electrical Panel Fire Suppression System

Market leading Fire Suppression for Electrical Panels

Malfunctions, overheating, sparks, and wire fatigue can all cause sizable fires in electrical components. Left unchecked, fire can quickly bring down the production of critical electrical panels and PLC cabinets - with your business suffering as a result.

At Fireward, we offer advanced fire suppression systems for electrical panels that are designed to react instantly, protecting your equipment before damage escalates. Our systems use clean agents to eliminate the risk of water damage typically caused by traditional suppression methods.

Each electrical panel fire suppression system we install utilizes trusted clean agents such as Reacton 1230™ and FM-200™ for safe, effective, and residue-free fire suppression.

Reacton 1230™ is a fluorinated ketone that is stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas. It is electrically non-conductive and leaves no residue after discharge.

FM-200™ sometimes referred to as HFC-227ea is the most tested liquefiable clean agent of all time. It is an electrically non-conductive odourless and colourless gas.

Solutions for Electrical Panels:

  • Direct/ indirect Reacton 1230 or FM-200™ specification is available. 
  • Additional safety features include manual actuation and end of line gauge.

Electrical Panel Fire Suppression System FAQ's

What is an electrical panel fire suppression system and why is it essential for protecting critical electrical infrastructure?

An electrical panel fire suppression system is an automatic fire protection solution installed within electrical panels, PLC cabinets and other critical control enclosures. These systems are essential because electrical faults such as overheating, sparks and wire fatigue can rapidly ignite, risking severe damage and downtime. The system reacts instantly to detected fires, helping prevent catastrophic equipment failure and operational disruption.

Which clean agents are used in Fireward's electrical panel fire suppression systems and how do they safeguard equipment without collateral damage?

Fireward employs clean agents such as Reacton 1230™ and FM-200™ (HFC-227ea). Both are electrically non-conductive, leave no residue and are safe for sensitive electronics. Reacton 1230™ discharges as a gas from liquid storage, while FM-200™ is a highly tested, liquefiable clean agent. Neither agent damages delicate components, maintaining system integrity.

How do electrical panel fire suppression systems activate so quickly and what makes them reliable in unattended installations?

These systems are designed for instantaneous activation, using clean agents that flood the protected zone at the first sign of fire. The system is completely automatic and operates without reliance on external power or human intervention, making it ideal for unmanned enclosures and downtime-sensitive environments.

Which environments and installations benefit most from adopting an electrical panel fire suppression system?

Any facility relying on electrical panels, PLC cabinets or electrical control systems, such as manufacturing plants, data centres, process control rooms and utility rooms, benefits from this fire suppression system. In such settings, an electrical panel fire suppression system preserves system integrity by stopping fires before they can escalate, ensuring continuity and safety.

What advantages do electrical panel fire suppression systems offer compared to traditional water-based or reactive fire protection methods?

Unlike conventional water sprinklers or reactive extinguishers, electrical panel fire suppression systems use clean agents that do not harm electronics or leave residue. They prevent collateral water damage and system downtime, responding proactively within seconds - making them a superior choice for protecting sensitive electrical equipment.
