The hidden danger of electrical panels

Almost everything we do relies on technology. From how we communicate to how we relax and find answers to problems, technology plays a critical role. Behind these developments, which power our ability to connect the devices in our hands and the computers on our desks with those around us, is a complex network of control panels, data cabinets, switches and servers, all of which rely on electricity. And if they fail, the consequences can be devastating, especially if the cause of the outage is a fire.

Electrical fires are incredibly unpredictable, and once started, if left to burn undetected, their effects can irreparably damage equipment and spread quickly to nearby equipment or structures. Outdated infrastructure, faulty wiring, poor maintenance, and overloaded circuits are all risk factors for fires.

The risk in electrical panels

Electrical panels are supposed to protect electrical equipment, but they are also susceptible to fire. Such devices pose a higher risk of fire due to the components they contain.

According to a report, 56% of industrial fires are caused by electrical faults. Electrical equipment (such as fuses, switches, busbars, etc.) are prone to fire risks due to the high current flow through them. They are therefore enclosed in electrical cabinets to prevent electromagnetic interference, for example, which can increase the risk of fire.

However, electrical cabinets require additional protection to reduce additional fire risks. Many elements contribute to electrical fires, such as:

• excessive heating of equipment due to overloaded circuits;
• use of unsuitable fuses;
• defective connectors;
• sporadic maintenance;
• incorrectly sized infrastructure;
• unforeseen technical defects.

The solution that solves them all

Distreo prevents this problem found in electrical panels, offering an autonomous monitoring and extinguishing solution. The product offered by our company is highly customizable and useful for use in households, industrial installations, system buses, server rooms, office buildings and so on.

BLAZECUT T SERIES is a self-contained fire extinguishing device for electrical panels, server units or small unattended spaces. Very simple and quick to install, it is the most cost-effective way to prevent fires in small and medium-sized enclosed spaces. It consists of a heat-sensitive tube, made of a special material with both storage and detection roles, which means that the extinguishing agent present in the device is sprayed immediately after the fire occurs to prevent the spread of fire.
