Fire Suppression Electrical Cabinet

AF-X Fireblocker - Environmentally friendly fire extinguishing system

Fire Protection at the source

Fire Suppression Electrical Cabinet

An electrical cabinet is a potential fire risk due to the high concentration of electricity. With the AF-X Fireblocker, you can protect electrical cabinets easily and cost-effectively. The system ensures quick detection and suppression directly at the source, preventing fire spread and minimizing damage.

Source Protection Prevents Further Damage

With the AF-X Fireblocker extinguishing system, you can effectively combat emerging fires directly at the source. Our rapid detection and suppression capabilities within electrical cabinets minimize potential damage, ensuring your business continuity remains intact. By addressing fire threats early, the AF-X Fireblocker safeguards critical operations and protects valuable equipment.

HOW AEROSOL EXTINGUISHING WORKS?
Reliable & Cost Effective Protection

The AF-X TEC (Thermal Electrical Controller), when paired with the AF-X Fireblocker, enables efficient fire detection and automatic suppression using a linear heat detection cable. Powered by two standard AA batteries, this system ensures reliable operation for effective fire management in critical areas.

Autonomous Fire Suppression System for Electrical Cabinets

Aerosol technology effectively suppresses fires inside electrical cabinets at an early stage, preventing the spread to nearby equipment. This feature is especially beneficial in settings with water sprinklers, as it avoids activation of the sprinklers and any associated collateral damage. The system ensures optimal fire safety while minimizing disruption to operations.

Integrated Extinguishing for Multiple Cabinets

Our Micro-FEP extinguishing panels enable monitoring, detection, and automatic extinguishing with linear heat detection cables or smoke detectors. Even when disconnected, faults are reported to monitoring equipment via volt-free contacts.

This way it is possible to build a “little” extinguishing system for all your electrical cabinets seperatly.

Dry Aerosol Extinguising For Electirical Cabinets

The AF-X Fireblocker uses dry aerosol, which extinguishes fires on a molecular level by stabilizing oxygen and preventing re-ignition. This method is quick, effective, and harmless to equipment, people, and the environment.

HOW DOES AN AF-X FIREBLOCKER WORK?

A few things we’re great at in Fire Suppression Electrical Cabinets

The fight against fire has been fundamentally improved by the use of the aerosol fire extinguishing systems. The dry aerosol is a solid that, once activated, blocks the fire in its origin.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Which suppression system suits an electrical cabinet or panel board?
    The AF-X Fireblocker dry aerosol fire extinguishing system is the ideal solution for protecting an electrical cabinet, panel board, or switchgear enclosure. This innovative system suppresses fires at the molecular level without using water or gas, which prevents collateral damage to sensitive electronics. It is completely pressureless, making it highly compact and financially attractive compared to traditional gaseous systems. With a 15-year lifespan and no structural adjustments needed, the AF-X Fireblocker ensures reliable, continuous source protection, helping facility managers and engineers safeguard critical infrastructure while maintaining business continuity.
  • Can AF-X Fireblocker units retrofit inside live electrical enclosures?
    Yes, AF-X Fireblocker units can easily be retrofitted inside existing, live electrical enclosures without interrupting operations. The installation of this self-contained system is simple and fast, requiring only basic electrical connections instead of complex infrastructure. Because the AF-X Fireblocker is a pressureless, waterless, and gasless solution, it requires absolutely no piping, no water storage, and no separate gas cylinder room. This plug-and-play design allows certified electrical installers to safely fit the compact aerosol generators directly at the source of potential fire hazards, minimizing downtime and structural modification costs.
  • Which AF-X Fireblocker unit size does my cabinet require?
    The required AF-X Fireblocker unit size is determined directly by the total volume of your electrical cabinet. The AF-X Fireblocker CXXS 30 g unit protects enclosures up to 0.4 cubic meters and discharges in under 20 seconds, while the CXS 60 g unit covers volumes up to 0.8 cubic meters with a discharge time under 40 seconds. These compact units are designed for flexible installation at standard heights of 1.5 meters and 2.0 meters inside the enclosure. This direct sizing ensures highly targeted, rapid aerosol deployment directly at the ignition source.
  • How is fire suppression triggered in electrical cabinets in the Netherlands?
    AF-X Fireblocker systems in the Netherlands are triggered automatically using advanced thermal and smoke detection technologies. The system can be activated by a linear heat detection cable, a bimetal switch, or a dedicated smoke detection loop. For monitoring multiple enclosures, these triggers connect to the DECU3 extinguishing panel or Micro-FEP control panels. This configuration provides continuous autonomous surveillance and immediate automatic activation if a temperature spike or fire is detected. By ensuring rapid deployment at the source, this setup minimizes electrical damage and prevents the activation of building sprinklers.
  • Where to find certified electrical cabinet fire suppression in the Netherlands?
    AF-X Fireblocker, based in Purmerend, Netherlands, supplies certified electrical cabinet fire suppression solutions that comply with strict international guidelines. The system is certified according to ISO 15779, EN 15276, NFPA 2010, UL 2775, and KIWA standards. Developed in cooperation with Aerospace Propulsion Products (APP), a subsidiary of the ArianeGroup, these pressureless aerosol units guarantee a zero-failure production mindset. This ensures high-quality, reliable, and compliant fire safety for facility managers and electrical engineers who require certified source protection in Dutch and international markets.
