Power Generation & Transmission
Fire Protection Engineered for High-Energy, High-Reliability Electrical Infrastructure
Power generation and transmission facilities are among the most critical assets in modern society. From large-scale steam electric plants to compact gas turbine units and expansive transmission networks, these environments contain intense heat sources, rotating machinery, high-voltage equipment, and flammable fuels, all operating around the clock. A single ignition can threaten worker safety, damage multi-million-dollar equipment, disrupt service to entire regions, and trigger cascading operational and financial repercussions.
KiddeFenwal delivers advanced fire detection, suppression, and system controls engineered specifically for the high-energy demands of electrical generation and transmission environments. Our solutions help safeguard turbines, cable rooms, control centers, transformers, and auxiliary systems, ensuring operational continuity where uptime is non-negotiable.
Built for the Extreme Demands of Power Generation & Transmission
Power facilities require fire protection systems that perform reliably in high-temperature, high-vibration, dust-laden, and electrically complex environments. KiddeFenwal solutions integrate rapid detection, engineered suppression, and intelligent monitoring to protect equipment and maintain uninterrupted electrical service.
- Rapid, Targeted Suppression
High-pressure CO₂ and clean-agent systems provide fast flame knockdown for turbines, generators, switchgear, and enclosed mechanical spaces where fire can escalate quickly. - Superior Early Detection
Air sampling smoke detection (ASD), intelligent sensors, and linear heat detection identify overheating, electrical faults, arcing, or smoldering insulation before a fire becomes visible. - Resilient to Harsh Conditions
Components engineered to withstand vibration, heat, dust, oil mist, and environmental fluctuations typical of power plants and transmission infrastructure. - Coordinated System Control
Detection, alarms, suppression release, and shutdown logic function as a unified, fully supervised network—enhancing response effectiveness and system reliability. - Broad Hazard Coverage
Solutions engineered for diverse facility types including fossil fuel plants, , renewable generation sites, substations, and transmission support facilities. - Regulatory & Insurance Compliance
Systems comply with NFPA system design and industry-specific codes and standards.
