Distributing cabinets are generally used for power supply systems, including air-break switches, circuit breakers, various types of isolation switches, connecting terminals, protective equipment, measuring equipment, mutual inducts, and various sensors.
Continuous and stable power supply is crucial for every function of society, whether it is industrial, commercial, or residential affairs, which rely on continuous and stable power supply.
Inside the distributing cabinet, there is a complex circuit system, after working long hours, once the electric circuit ages, short-circuiting, leaks, and risk of fire will increase correspondingly.
When a fire is caused by the equipment inside the distributing cabinet, the space of the distribution cabinet will block fire smoke from spreading outwards, a conventional fire detector is normally ceiling mounted and so not be able to detect fire in time, this will cause a serious economic loss and electric equipment damaged, deeply will make the workshop and factory not be able to produce products, our daily life also will be badly effected, so for distributing cabinet we should adopt measurement of very early smoke detection.
It is very hard to put out a fire that occurs in distribution cabinets, now most users like to install a gaseous fire safety solution to suppress fire in the room space of the protection zone, for example: the FM200 fire suppression system. However, the gas fire suppression system is only can flood the fire in the whole room space where the distribution cabinet placed, when the distribution cabinet causes fire both the fire detection and fire extinguishing systems will not be able to work in time to suppress it.
Nowadays some users use fire-detecting tube systems to detect fire and extinguish fires in cabinets space, the steps are to install fire detecting tube near or on the top of the fire alarm where easy to catch fire in the distributing cabinet, and at the same time, make the tubes winding in the cabinets, once fire occurs, the fire detection tube will be heated and blast, push the extinguishing agent discharging out directly by tube itself or indirectly by nozzles, into the protection area of the fire protection zone. So using fire fire-detecting tube is a good fire safety solution for the distribution cabinet.
But there is a better solution we suggest for distributing cabinet.
1. Fire Detection Design for Distributing Cabinet
Accordingly to the fire development process, the Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus is short for “VESDA”, the VESDA can detect fire at its early stage, and so provides the best fire solution, providing users with reliable and valuable smoke detection. It can collect and analyze air samples in the protection zone continuously, and detect whether the fire smoke is there.
This VESDA system will minimize fire.
2. Fire Suppression Design for Distributing Cabinet
For fire extinguishing in the distribution cabinet, we also suggest a shape-condensed aerosol fire extinguishing device, we recommend small sizes ranging from 30 grams to 500 grams.
Our shape aerosol device is the ideal fire suppression solution for the cabinet space, normally its installation location is on the top of the fire flame.
One set or several sets of them with series connections, to install in every direction in the cabinet compartment.
When the VESDA detects a fire, it will make a fire alarm first, and the operator on duty can extinguish the fire manually, when the VESDA detects several fire alarms, will activate the accompanying aerosol fire extinguishing generator automatically and rapidly.
An Aerosol Generator can activated manually, in an emergency, press down the emergency release button to trigger the generator.
Why we recommend this system, it is because:
A combined VESDA system with a mini Aerosol System will fulfill the functions of fire detection and suppression together, not only for very early fire detection but also can extinguish fire very rapidly, it is a perfect FIRE SAFETY SOLUTION for a cabinet environment.
