Electrical fire
Thread Content
What is the best way to deal with a fire in an electrical distribution cabinet? Today, one of our colleagues caused a fire in the distribution cabinet while using electrical equipment, as the power consumption was too high. The cables that supply power to the electrical cabinet come from other locations through iron pipes. To avoid various types of losses, what is the most reasonable approach? I would appreciate some advice from the experts here
In the event of an electrical fire, the power supply should be cut off first, and then the fire should be extinguished using carbon dioxide, \"1211\" or dry powder fire extinguishers. Water and foam fire extinguishers must not be used to prevent electric shock accidents. Remember: First, turn off the power to the device, then check the wiring to see if there are any remaining hazards. Replace the damaged wires (be sure to get a electrician), and have a technician from the appliance’s after-sales service fix the appliance!
It’s nothing serious; it’s mainly about identifying the faulty parts – replace those that are damaged immediately, and for the rest, as long as the insulation resistance is normal, that’s fine
Electrical cabinets should not be operated under overload conditions. The wiring terminals and components of cabinets that handle high currents need to be inspected and maintained regularly, with any issues addressed promptly. The wiring holes in cable cabinets should be sealed with fire-resistant materials, and cable trays should also be insulated using fire-resistant materials to reduce losses in the event of a fire.
