Electrical Fire Extinguisher
Fires involving energized electrical equipment — switchgear, control panels, servers, transformers and wiring — require a non-conductive extinguishing agent that will not create a shock hazard for the operator. Supremex supplies a range of extinguishers specifically suited to Class E (electrical) fires: CO2, dry powder and clean agent types — all BIS certified and manufactured in India.
Unlike water or foam extinguishers, which conduct electricity and can endanger the operator on a live circuit, CO2 and clean agent extinguishers discharge a non-conductive agent that starves the fire of oxygen or interrupts its chemical reaction without leaving the operator exposed to shock risk.
Recommended Extinguisher Types for Electrical Fires
CO2 Fire Extinguisher
Leaves no residue, ideal for server rooms, control panels and electrical switchgear. 2kg–9kg, BIS certified.
ABC Dry Powder Extinguisher
Non-conductive dry chemical powder effective on Class A, B, C and electrical (E) fires. Widely used in industrial and commercial premises.
Clean Agent Extinguisher
Zero-residue, non-conductive agent safe for sensitive electronics — ideal for server rooms and control panels.
Why a Non-Conductive Extinguisher Matters
- Water and foam extinguishers conduct electricity — never use on live electrical equipment
- CO2 and clean agent extinguishers are non-conductive and safe for use on energized circuits
- ABC dry powder is also non-conductive and rated for Class E (electrical) fires per BIS standards
- Choose CO2 or clean agent where equipment protection (no residue) is a priority — e.g. server rooms, control panels
- Choose ABC powder where broader multi-class coverage is needed alongside electrical fire protection
