Wiring devices, including power strips, are continuously supplied with electricity and are often exposed to external contaminants, increasing the risk of ignition caused by foreign material ingress and electrical overloading.
Tracking and Arc Faults
Dust, moisture, and other contaminants entering the device can create conductive paths, resulting in electrical tracking and arc ignition.
Overload Current
Connecting multiple high-power electrical appliances that exceed the rated capacity of a single power strip can cause excessive internal heat buildup.
Poor Electrical Contact
Unstable plug connections or aging internal terminals can increase contact resistance, generating localized overheating.
SFEXTECH's solutions are designed to automatically detect and suppress fires at their earliest stage within wiring devices used in offices, commercial facilities, and industrial environments with continuous power consumption. These solutions contribute to improved electrical safety compliance and support the establishment of proactive fire prevention systems.
SFEXTECH provides protection for wiring devices through a dedicated integrated solution developed based on a detailed analysis of fire mechanisms inside multi-outlet power strips.
Automatic Fire Suppression Inside Power Strips with SFEX Inside
SFEX Inside incorporates a dedicated fire suppression unit coated with SFEX microcapsules and installed at anticipated ignition points within the power strip.
When heat or flame is generated by arc faults, overload conditions, electrical tracking, or contamination caused by dust and moisture, the system automatically detects the fire and suppresses it at the earliest stage through a cooling-based fire suppression mechanism.
Operating independently without external power or auxiliary equipment, it leaves no residual contamination after discharge, ensuring no adverse impact on surrounding precision equipment or devices.
