Malfunctions, overheating, electrical arcing and damaged wiring can cause fires within electrical control panels and PLC cabinets. A fire can quickly damage critical equipment, disrupt production and impact business operations.
Fireward provides fire suppression systems for electrical panels designed to detect and suppress fires rapidly, helping prevent damage from escalating. Our clean agent fire suppression systems are electrically non-conductive and leave no residue, making them ideal for sensitive electrical equipment.
Each electrical panel fire suppression system we install utilises trusted clean agents such as Reacton 1230™ (Novec 1230) and FM-200™ for safe, effective, and residue-free fire suppression.
Reacton 1230™, formerly known as 3M Novec 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 or indirect Reacton 1230™ and FM-200™ systems
- Additional safety features include manual actuation and end of line gauge.
High electrical currents can cause busbars to overheat. Loose connections, poor installation or electrical arcing can create excessive heat and become a potential fire hazard.
Electrical faults, overloads and component failure can cause MCBs to overheat, increasing the risk of electrical fires within the control panel.
Power supplies can overheat due to electrical faults, component failure or inadequate ventilation, creating a potential source of fire inside the electrical control panel.
High fault currents, overloads and electrical arcing can cause the main MCCB to overheat, potentially leading to fire and damage to the control panel.
Frequent switching, high electrical loads, worn contacts or component faults can generate excessive heat and increase the risk of an electrical fire.
Electrical faults, power surges, overheating or component failure can damage PLCs and control modules and potentially create a fire risk.
Fault currents can cause fuses and fuse holders to heat up significantly. Poor connections or an unsuitable fuse can increase the risk of overheating and fire.
Loose connections, high electrical resistance, poor termination or excessive loads can generate heat at terminal blocks, potentially resulting in an electrical fire.
Overloading, short circuits, damaged insulation and poor cable termination can cause electrical cables to overheat, creating a serious fire hazard within the control panel.
Loose connections, excessive current, contamination or poor termination can cause localised heating around neutral and earth bars, increasing the risk of electrical faults and fire.
