Passive fire protection | since 1994
PCO
World’s first complete electrical fire defence system
Fire does not stayin the panel.
It spreads along cables and through openings. PCO stops all three.
1 Panel catches fire
2 Cables carry fire
3 Fire passes through openings
Electrical fault
Panel fire
Cables carry fire
Through openings
Plant shutdown
One fire route. Three defences.
01
PanelsStop fire at source.
02
CablesStop fire spread. Keep circuits working.
03
OpeningsSeal wall and floor openings.
The fire may last hours.
The shutdown can last months.
Legal exposure
A fire death can lead to criminal action against those responsible.

01
Where fire starts
Panels
Seal gaps. Limit air. Protect components.
Gaps sealed with FBS 73
Fire sealant | putty stick
FIREX FBS 73
Seals cable entries. Limits air. Stops fire and smoke from spreading. Can be reopened.
Up to 2 hours | IS 12458
Unprotected panel fire
Fire-barrier panel coating
FIREX DC 52
Stops panel paint from adding to the fire. Protects components from heat.

How fire spreads
Cables
Cables spread fire.Burning insulation feeds the fire.
More heat. More smoke. Faster circuit failure.
Cable trays | stop fire spread
Cable failure | what EC 43 prevents
One rodent bite can cause
Cable failure | fire | replacement cost + downtime
