Electrical arcing and other malfunctions can easily start a fire inside of your electrical equipment. Fires can start anywhere there is an electrical connection, whether its a switchgear or MCC. Firetrace systems detect fires at the source and leave no residue, making them ideal for electrical equipment.
When the detection tubing reaches a critical temperature, it bursts, releasing the pressure of the system. As a direct release system, the fire-suppressing agent discharges through the burst hole in the detection tubing. You can see the tubing recoil with the force of the discharge upon rupture, and then quickly suppressing the fire.
Our systems offer clean agent or nitrogen-based agent to suppress the fire, which cause no damage to the electrical equipment and require no clean up.
Traditional fire detection devices monitor a single location and may take time to identify a developing fire. Firetrace solutions provide localized detection within the electrical cabinet itself, helping identify fire conditions early and initiate suppression before the fire can spread to surrounding equipment.
Firetrace systems use residue free agents to suppress fires inside electrical equipment. Unlike water, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals, we use FK-5-1-12 and nitrogen-based solutions that are safe for electronics.
When a fire suppression system activates, getting protection back in service quickly is critical. Firetrace systems are designed for straightforward inspection, service, and system replacement, helping reduce downtime and simplify maintenance. This way, protection can be returned service quickly.
Several testing organizations independently evaluate fire suppression systems from different manufacturers. The evaluations include live fire tests and semi-annual audits of manufacturing processes. Firetrace clean agent DLP systems hold a third party certification from the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
