Electrical cabinet fires can be devastating to a business. Overheating wires or components, sparks and component fatigue can all cause significant fast-growth fires in electrical enclosures which can be difficult to detect and extinguish. Not only can fire events in electrical infrastructure endanger lives, but a minor service disruption can also result in tens of thousands, to millions of dollars in lost revenue or production capability. As demands for energy continue to increase, it is becoming even more important that the right fire protection measures are put in place to protect all aspects of common electrical infrastructure.
In cabinet fire protection can be difficult due to space constraints. Electrical switch gears and cabling may occupy most of the volume inside an electrical cabinet, leaving little installation space for a fire suppression system.
