01 / Identify

Understand the risk. Act at the source.

Small electrical defects can become major operational risks. Start with the plant's most vulnerable connection points.

Inverter hazards

Power electronics, terminals and outdoor exposure require regular inspection and care.

02 / Prevent

One coordinated line of defense

From site inspection to product selection, protection is designed around the real conditions of your plant.

  1. 01

    Identify the risk

    Review inspection findings, equipment condition and environmental exposure to locate priority electrical nodes.

  2. 02

    Plan preventive measures

    Combine maintenance, connection insulation and localized passive fire protection in a site-specific plan.

  3. 03

    Configure for the site

    Match products to enclosure volume, electrical ratings and installation requirements, then plan ongoing checks.

A complementary safety layer, alongside correct installation, scheduled maintenance and site emergency procedures.

03 / Protect

Purpose-built protection at critical nodes

Two complementary product families for localized fire suppression and connection insulation.

Self-actuating fire-extinguishing block F301

Protection where it matters

Build protection into the electrical nodes that matter most, from PV combiner boxes to inverter cabinets and associated power connections.

  • Prioritize vulnerable connections and enclosed ignition points.
  • Consider moisture, condensation and outdoor exposure.
  • Coordinate installation with the plant's maintenance plan.
