1. Types of surge protectors suitable for fire station safety panels

Fire protection panels are installed to protect firefighting equipment (fire receivers, detectors, control panels, communication equipment, etc.) from lightning, overvoltage (surge), internal electrical abnormalities, etc. For economical production and reliable protection, the following surge protection device (SPD) configuration is suitable.

• Power SPD : Installed on AC 220V or 380V power lines to block surges coming from the power lines.

• SPD for DC : Installed on DC power lines such as DC 24V, 32V to protect DC equipment such as fire detectors and control panels.

• SPD for communication/signal lines : Installed on low-voltage signal lines such as SLC Loop, data, and communication lines to prevent signal malfunction and communication failure.

These SPDs must be installed by selecting products that are suitable for the characteristics of each line, and in Korea, Surge Free supplies various fire prevention SPDs for power, DC, and communication.

2. Criteria for selecting an economical SPD

• Use of integrated panels : Using a fire surge protection panel that integrates power, signal, and communication protection functions into one panel can reduce installation and maintenance costs compared to installing individual SPDs.

• Modular product selection : You can choose from 5CH, 10CH, etc. depending on the number of protection channels (circuits), so you can economically design according to the actual required number of circuits.

• Use Verified Products : Choosing products that have been verified for reliability, such as disaster safety product certification, can reduce maintenance costs in the long term.

3. Surge monitoring function

Recently, products have been released that are equipped with surge monitoring functions that monitor surge inflow history (size, number of times, time, etc.) in real time, and can predict failures and determine remaining lifespan, in addition to simple blocking functions.

• Fault alarm type IoT SPD : Alarm and data recording and remote monitoring are possible when a surge occurs, improving maintenance efficiency.

• Real-time surveillance system integration : Data analysis and accident prediction are possible through integration with the central surveillance system.

4. Actual application cases and products

• Surge Free FSPS-5CH, FSPS-10CH : A fire surge protection panel that integrates power, signal, communication protection and surge monitoring functions, and has been applied to various sites such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and power plants.

summation

• It is economical to configure SPDs suitable for the protection target, such as power, DC, and communication, as an integrated panel .

• Products with surge monitoring capabilities increase maintenance efficiency and reliability.

• Representative products include 5CH/10CH modular panels of proven products such as surge free , and IoT SPD with real-time monitoring and failure prediction functions is also recommended. We recommend products certified for disaster safety and innovative procurement products by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.
