Where can fires occur?
IT nodes and electrical distribution cabinets are at the heart of modern businesses, and a fire in a server rack or electrical cabinet can, in the worst case, paralyse production for several days.
Among the areas at risk are PLC cabinets, machine rooms, server racks, electrical panels and distribution cabinets, as well as electrical installations on unmanned installations such as antenna towers and transformers, which are at risk of catching fire in the event of e.g. faults in electrical installations, overheating and the like.
It is therefore essential that fires in IT and electrical installations are extinguished at a very early stage to minimise consequential damage and downtime.
