Transformer Fire Protection

An oil-filled power transformer failure can release burning insulating oil in seconds, radiating heat toward adjacent bays and switchgear. Conventional deluge protection handles this risk with large volumes of water and correspondingly large tanks, pumps and bunding — a heavy footprint for substations where space is already constrained.

Design approach

Suppression sized to the bay, not the substation

High-pressure water mist cools the transformer tank surface and attenuates radiant heat to neighbouring bays at a fraction of the water flow a deluge system requires — reducing tank size, pump capacity, and civil bunding work for both outdoor and indoor transformer installations.

Why it matters

Compact footprint, faster approval

Smaller water storage and pipework mean a smaller civil footprint and often a simpler approval path for space-constrained substation upgrades, without compromising the cooling and radiant-heat control the transformer bay needs.
