Most electrical fires start inside a closed panel, where nobody sees them in time. A panel suppression system runs a heat sensing tube through the cabinet; when a fire heats it, the tube bursts and puts CO2 or clean agent straight onto the fire, with no power supply and nobody present. FPS supplies, installs and services panel systems from Ceasefire, Kanex, Minimax, Savemax, HD Fire and Honeywell.
| LT panel, MCC, PCC or switchgear | Direct systems, Indirect systems |
|---|---|
| Small DB, fuse box or enclosure | Self-contained units, Automatic extinguisher, 1 to 4 kg |
| Server rack or network cabinet | Server room systems |
| Machines, DG sets and transformers | CO2 systems, Water mist systems |
| Panel room, first response | CO2 2 kg, Clean agent 2 kg |
A pressurised heat sensing tube runs through the panel, past the busbars, breakers and cable entries where faults start. At about 150 to 180 C, as Ceasefire lists for its tube, the tube bursts at the hottest point.
In a direct system the burst point becomes the nozzle and the agent pours out right onto the fire. In an indirect system the drop in tube pressure opens a valve and the agent leaves through fixed nozzles, which suits larger enclosures. Either way the system needs no electricity and acts with nobody present.
Ceasefire in-panel direct systems with CO2, HFC 227ea, HFC 236fa, Fluoroketone or ABC MAP 90; Kanex direct low pressure clean agent systems for panels and racks and its CO2 direct high pressure system; Kanex direct release tube systems; and Honeywell ECS direct low pressure kits with FK-5-1-12.
For larger enclosures, the tube detects and fixed nozzles discharge: Ceasefire in-panel indirect systems, Kanex CO2 indirect high pressure with cylinders up to 45 kg, Kanex indirect release tube systems, Honeywell ECS in-direct low pressure kits and the HD Fire HD-RAKSHAK in-cabinet CO2 system.
Small units that need no tubing layout: Ceasefire Mini and Mini Pro for fuse boxes, servers and confined spaces, released by a heat sensitive glass bulb; Minimax FIRESPOT panel protection in 2 and 4 kg; and the Savemax automatic panel protection system.
A small self actuating Fluoroketone (FK) unit for enclosed micro environments, released mechanically by a heat sensitive glass bulb with no power supply. The Intuitive version sits inside the space; the Adaptive version sits outside with only its bulb inside, for spaces too small to hold the unit.
A compact Fluoroketone (FK) suppression module for servers, fuse boxes and other confined spaces, triggered by a thermal element when the temperature passes a preset limit. It adds a pressure monitoring port, so a pressure switch can report to a BMS, fire alarm system or siren strobe.
Sizes: 2 kg, 4 kg
Self-actuating, pre-engineered clean agent system for enclosed panels and cabinets, developed and made by Gunnebo India. A pressurised heat sensing tube ruptures at the fire and releases Grenoz 1230 at the point where the fire starts.
An automatic suppression system for electrical panels, switchgear, control cabins and server racks that detects a fire and puts it out at the source. It uses a clean agent that leaves no residue and is safe on live panels.
Map the panel: its volume, whether it has forced or natural ventilation, and where heat builds up. Ceasefire tests its tube systems for both forced and natural air flow cabinets.
Pick the agent: CO2 for panels in rooms where nobody works, a clean agent (FK-5-1-12, HFC 227ea or HFC 236fa) where people work nearby or the electronics are sensitive. An ABC powder version exists for mixed risks but leaves powder behind.
We fit the tube through the cable routes, without drilling where we can, and Kanex lists that its system does not change the panel's IP rating. We commission the system and check it under an AMC.
