Automatic Fire Suppression for Electrical Cabinets
For enclosed spaces within distribution boards and control cabinets.
Why Electrical Cabinets Need Automatic Fire Suppression
Electrical cabinet fire risk starts inside the enclosure, where electrical connections and components are housed. When reviewing protection against electrical panel fires, consider how an automatic fire suppression device will respond within that space. MICRO119 reacts to heat and releases its extinguishing agent inside the protected enclosure.
How MICRO119 Works Inside an Electrical Cabinet
The MICRO119 fire suppression patch uses heat-responsive microcapsules. When exposed to the activation conditions specified for the product, the capsules release the extinguishing agent inside the protected space. The patch attaches to an interior surface using its adhesive backing. Follow the installation instructions for the selected model and enclosure.
Applications for Electrical Panels and Control Cabinets
Electrical panel fire suppression and control panel fire suppression require a review of the enclosure, protected volume and mounting position. MICRO119 is presented for enclosed spaces within distribution boards and control cabinets, as well as electrical compartments in telecom equipment and server cabinets. For switchgear cabinets or server racks, confirm the applicable model, openings and airflow with KCI before selecting a patch; suitability for one enclosure does not establish suitability for every installation.
Heat-Activated Fire Suppression Without External Power
MICRO119 operates through heat activation, with no external power supply required. For buyers looking for an automatic fire extinguisher for an electrical cabinet, this adhesive patch offers a heat-activated fire suppression format. Select the product using its specifications and installation guide, including the permitted enclosure conditions and operating temperature.
