Aerosol Fire Extinguishing System For Substation Transformers and Substation Assets

Quantifying the probability of a transformer fire and the contribution of the various failure modes is a useful first step for determining what risk reduction and risk mitigation measures should be implemented for each type of transformer installation. Fireless is applied into the enclosed or relatively closed rooms where transformer installed. The Risk to Potential Fire Victims – Other Substation Assets.

The brief introduction of FireLess 125

FireLess 125 automatic aerosol fire extinguishing device is developed from Chinese military technology, and it is used to protect the military facilities, for example, engine rooms of tanks, warship, communication stations etc.. Now it is applied to civil use. Especially for those place where the volume and space are important and enclosed space, like wind turbines, underground cable wells, offshore and so on.

9. No need pressure to store

10. Light maintenance and low cost needed

The application of FireLess 125 on transformer

The power transformer is the main equipment for power transmission and distribution in the power system. The power transformer is mainly to reduce the high voltage of the power grid to a voltage that can be directly used, 6000V or 380V, to supply power to the equipment. If the transformer is overloaded or short-circuited, the insulation material or oil will be decomposed by high temperature or electric spark, which will cause fire, so the fire protection of the transformer is especially important.

Due to the characteristics that FireLess aerosol fire suppression devices and systems have, they are the good choice for protecting the transformers.
