High-voltage switchgear is at the heart of modern energy distribution – it controls and secures the flow of electricity in industry, energy supply, and critical infrastructure. A fire in these systems can have devastating consequences: from massive property damage and widespread power outages to serious safety risks.
That is why reliable fire protection tailored to specific requirements is essential. At WAGNER, we offer customized solutions and innovative systems that actively prevent fires, detect them early, and extinguish them effectively in an emergency. This is how we ensure maximum operational safety and minimal downtime.
RISK ANALYSIS
Fires in high-voltage switchgear are often caused by technical defects such as arcing, insulation faults, or overheating. However, external influences such as dust, oil mist, or moisture can also form dangerous ignition sources in combination with electrical components. The particularly high energy density in such systems further increases the risk of fire – even the smallest malfunctions can have serious consequences. Other risk factors such as vandalism, or lightning strikes increase the danger of uncontrolled outbreaks of fire. This multitude of potential hazards makes early detection and targeted prevention essential.
PROTECTION GOALS
BETTER SOLUTIONS IN FIRE PROTECTION
We offer customized solutions for high-voltage switchgear based on three perfectly interacting technologies. At the heart of these solutions are our highly sensitive TITANUS® aspirating smoke detectors, which detect even the smallest smoke particles at a very early stage – before a fire even starts. Depending on requirements, we combine TITANUS® either with our FirExting® extinguishing system, which enables fast and residue-free fire extinguishing in an emergency, or with our OxyReduct® fire prevention system, which reduces the oxygen content in the protected area to such an extent through controlled nitrogen supply that a fire cannot even start under defined conditions. In this way, we reliably protect energy networks from failures, damage, and business interruptions – for a very high level of safety in critical infrastructures.
