High-voltage Transformer Aerosol Type Fire Extinguisher Fighting High-voltage Fire

The overview

Nowadays, a lot of technology are being used and developed. Their development and use lead to the more and more dependent upon electrical power, both in our daily lives and in most commercial or industrial activities.

Many power utilities have to install power substations in their distribution grids to meet the continuously increasing demands for reliable power with their a large number of high voltage power transformers. Many measures are taken to protect them against failure because

once power fails, customers complain, revenues and profits are lost and human injuries could even happen.

The biggest risks for transformers

One of the biggest risks is fire. Excessive overheating, extremely severe short circuits, faults in the oil and lightning strokes may cause a fire on transformers. Through there are many imbedded safety designs of these oil filled transformers when it is in manufacturing and it is rare to catch fires. However, once they fail, uncontained fires will cause significant amount of damage and result in a prolonged and unscheduled outage. Moreover, the fires of transformer are difficult to extinguished and fired transformers also release thick black toxic smoke and spilling of transformer oil which damage the environment and people.

This is the reason that more and more utilities install fire protection systems to safeguard their property and investment and to prevent such sudden fires.

The solution of protecting the transformers

The traditional method is using deluge sprinkler system, but this fire extinguishing system need a lot of water, while so many of power substations are located in remote areas where don’t have enough quantity water to use. FireLess 50 is very suitable for enclosed and semi-enclosed space and advanced fire extinguishing technology based on military technology have high fire extinguishing efficiency. Furthermore, it has small size and volume and environmentally friendly performance on the zero Ozone depletion potential, HFC-free, CFC-free, zero Global warming potential. To save you downtime, costly repairs, and greatly reduce the risk of human injury.

Therefore, FireLess can provide a better protection for transformers.
