FM Certified NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent Fire Suppression Gas For Transformers

In the power system, the transformer room, as a core facility, undertakes the key tasks of voltage transformation and power distribution. Its fire risk directly threatens the stability of the power grid and the safety of personnel. Traditional fire extinguishing agents may cause irreversible damage to precision electrical equipment due to conductivity, corrosiveness or residues. However, NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) Clean Agent, with its outstanding environmental protection performance and efficient fire extinguishing ability, is becoming an innovative choice in the transformer room scenario.
NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) Clean Agent, as a professional-grade clean gas fire extinguishing agent certified by FM, has become an ideal solution for fire protection in transformer rooms with its outstanding performance and safety. Its main component, perfluorohexanone, with its unique physical and chemical properties, far exceeds traditional fire extinguishing media in terms of fire extinguishing efficiency, electrical safety and environmental protection performance. NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) Clean Agent has excellent non-conductivity and an insulation resistance of more than 10¹²Ω. It can directly implement fire extinguishing when equipment such as transformers and distribution cabinets are operating under power, avoiding power supply interruption caused by power outages. After being discharged, it vaporizes rapidly without leaving any solid or liquid residue. It will not cause corrosion or contamination to high-voltage electrical components, effectively reducing the risk of equipment damage after disasters. Meanwhile, its ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0, and its global warming potential (GWP) is only 1, meeting the strict international environmental protection requirements. Moreover, its odorless feature will not irritate the operation and maintenance personnel, ensuring that fire safety and personnel health are taken into account.
In the complex environment of the transformer room, the NOVEC 1230Clean Agent demonstrates unparalleled adaptability and reliability. The transformers, high-voltage switches and other equipment in the transformer room are in a long-term high-load operation state, which is prone to cause fires due to insulation aging, overload and other factors. The NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) Clean Agent forms an intelligent monitoring network through the total flooding fire extinguishing system, along with temperature detectors, smoke detectors and arc light detectors. When the system detects smoke caused by overheating of the transformer oil, arc short circuit inside the high-voltage switch cabinet, or abnormal increase in ambient temperature, it can be quickly activated within 5 seconds. The NOVEC 1230Clean Agent rapidly fills the entire transformer chamber, interrupts the combustion chain reaction based on the principle of chemical suppression, and extinguishes the initial fire within 10 seconds.


How long does it take for NOVEC 1230 to be used again after extinguishing a fire?:

Under normal circumstances, after the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent extinguishes the fire, it can be restored for use within the fastest 30 minutes under ideal conditions such as good ventilation. The details are as follows:
In well-ventilated places, such as open Spaces or rooms with good ventilation systems, the concentration of NOVEC 1230 fire extinguishing agent will decrease rapidly. Usually, within 15 to 30 minutes after a fire is extinguished, the concentration of the fire extinguishing agent in the area can drop to a safe level, allowing personnel to re-enter and conduct inspections and resume work.
In places with poor ventilation, such as enclosed rooms or basements, the concentration of NOVEC 1230 Clean Agen fire extinguishing agent decreases at a slower rate. In this case, it may take 1 to 2 hours, or even longer, to ensure that the concentration of the fire extinguishing agent in the area drops to a safe level.
