Fire safety in Main Switchboards and electrical cabinets
Electrical cabinets, especially in industrial or commercial environments, are often neglected in fire safety planning. Yet they represent one of the most common sources of fires due to short circuits, overheating, or faulty components. Their failure due to fire can lead to blackouts, equipment damage, and significant safety risks. Water-based systems or gas suppression can damage sensitive electrical components and are often impractical for small, confined enclosures. A better solution is needed—one that works quickly, safely, and without creating more damage.
Fire risks in Main LV switchboards and electrical cabinets
- Overheating due to high current loads
- Arcing and short circuits
- Dust, moisture, or improper connections
Why Aerosol is the right fit:
Stat-X aerosol units are compact, self-contained, and can be mounted directly inside an electrical cabinet. Upon detecting fire or high heat, they automatically release a dry aerosol agent that suppresses the fire without harming electronics.
Key advantages:
- No water or gas - safe for electronics
- No need for pressurized tanks or pipework
- Does not require room sealing
- Safe for use near live equipment
- Low maintenance and long lifespan (up to 10 years)
Industries that benefit:
- Factories and production facilities
- Commercial buildings
- Kitchens and fast food franchises
- Data centers
- Renewable energy infrastructure
