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.

Environmentally Friendly

– Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
– Zero Global Warming Potential
– Negligible Atmospheric Lifetime
– No gas
–So pressureless
– It doesn’t use water
– nor affects oxygen levels

Financially Interesting

– 15 year life-span
– Investment costs are lower
(No structural adjustments)
– It’s easier to maintain than traditional systems
– Simplicity, Plug & Play, Compact
– Fully Certified

More Easy to Install

– It’s easier and faster to install (E-Installer)
– It doesn’t require special conditions:
– No water-pressure, No water-access or water-storage
– No separated room for gas-cylinders, No piping

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Which suppression system suits an electrical cabinet or panel board?
    The AF-X Fireblocker dry aerosol fire extinguishing system is designed for protecting electrical cabinets, panel boards, and switchgear enclosures. The system interrupts combustion chemically and uses no water and no stored pressurised gas, which keeps additional damage to sensitive electronics limited compared with water-based suppression; damage caused by the fire itself depends on the incident. The generators are stored without pressure and are compact, and usually require no structural adjustments, although openings and ventilation in the protected volume are assessed per project. With a 15-year lifespan, the system provides reliable source protection to maintain business continuity.
  • Can AF-X Fireblocker units retrofit inside live electrical enclosures?
    Retrofitting an existing enclosure is generally possible and is assessed per installation. The generators are self-contained and need no piping, water supply or separate cylinder room, so the work is limited to mounting the unit and making the detection and activation connections, which an electrical installer can carry out. Whether the enclosure may remain energised during that work is not a product property: it depends on the applicable electrical safety rules, the risk assessment for the installation and the manufacturer's approved installation procedure. Plan isolation and switching with your installer and confirm the procedure with AF-X Fireblocker.
  • Which AF-X Fireblocker unit size does my cabinet require?
    The required size is determined by multiplying the internal height, width, and depth of the enclosure in metres to find the total volume. The NANO range includes CXXS (30 g / 0.4 m³ / <20 s), CXS (60 g / 0.8 m³ / <40 s), CS (150 g / 2.6 m³ / <30 s), CM (450 g / 7.2 m³ / <60 s), BXS (750 g / 9.2 m³ / <60 s), BS (1050 g / 13.3 m³ / <60 s), BM (2550 g / 42 m³ / <40 s), and BL (3900 g / 72 m³ / <60 s). Volume is the starting point for selection rather than the whole answer: the maximum installation height of the chosen model, the internal layout and obstructions, and openings and ventilation also determine how many units are needed and where they are mounted. Several generators can be combined for larger enclosures. The final specification must be confirmed by AF-X Fireblocker or its distributor.
  • How is fire suppression triggered in electrical cabinets?
    Activation is automatic and electrically initiated. AF-X documents two arrangements for enclosures: the AF-X TEC with a linear heat detection cable, and the Micro-FEP with a heat cable or a smoke detector. The system can also be connected to an existing supervised fire alarm or extinguishing panel. Which detectors and control panels are compatible with a specific generator, and how several units in one installation are driven, is confirmed by AF-X Fireblocker for the proposed configuration.
  • Where to obtain certified electrical cabinet fire suppression internationally?
    AF-X Fireblocker is based in Purmerend, the Netherlands, and supplies its systems directly and through distributors; contact info@af-x.com or +31 20 20 50 484 to confirm which purchasing route applies in your country. The systems are certified to global standards including ISO 15779 (KIWA, K101072/01), EN 15276 (KIWA, K101072/01 and K104185-01), KIWA BRL K23001-05, NFPA 2010 (declaration K109752/01), UL 2775 (declaration K104186/01), and IMO MSC/Circ.1270 (BSI/MED/3.46/806371). ISO 15779, EN 15276 and BRL K23001-05 are third-party product certificates; the NFPA 2010 and UL 2775 documents are declarations of conformity. They cover the certified products, so acceptance for a specific project and local regulations is confirmed separately with the authority, inspector or insurer involved.
