Application
Heat-Activated Early-Stage Fire Suppression for Electrical Cabinets
Electrical cabinets contain concentrated ignition risks, limited space and ventilation paths. Component format, quantity and position must be developed around the real enclosure and validated as part of the finished equipment.
The challenge
Why this equipment needs a defined material evaluation.
The ignition source, protected volume and airflow vary between cabinet designs.
Patches, tapes, cords, blankets and coatings place the active material in different ways.
A material release time is not the same as an equipment-level extinguishment result.

Key evaluation parameters
Define the test condition before comparing materials.
The table separates the parameter to evaluate from the value or project condition that still needs confirmation.
| Parameter | Why it matters | Current value / status |
|---|---|---|
| Protected volume and ventilation | Defines the enclosure conditions for quantity and placement review. | Project input required. |
| Ignition source and thermal profile | Identifies the relevant activation location and response condition. | Project input required. |
| Component format and dimensions | Matches patch, tape, cord, blanket or coating to available space. | Current DSAN NEW MATERIALS format data is shown on the related product page; cabinet-specific selection is required. |
| Agent release time | Describes material release under the stated test condition; it is not an extinguishment-time claim. | ≤3 s in current DSAN NEW MATERIALS component documentation; format-specific trigger and test condition apply. |
| Finished-equipment performance | Confirms fire, electrical, ageing, mechanical and applicable compliance requirements. | Project input required. |

Technical questions to confirm
Questions an engineer should answer before selection.
Which cabinet zone is being protected?
Provide the enclosure volume, internal layout, ventilation openings, ignition sources and available mounting positions.
Which fire scenario and acceptance method apply?
Define the representative fault, fuel, energization state, detection arrangement and equipment-level test criteria.
Which integration limits must be checked?
Confirm electrical clearances, attachment, ageing, material compatibility, maintenance access and applicable regulatory requirements.
