Fire Breaker – Automatic Fire Extinguishing Device for Electrical Panels and DB Boxes
Electrical fires often start inside a closed box: a DB board, a UPS cabinet, a solar inverter panel or a server rack. By the time anyone sees smoke, the wiring is already burning. The fire breaker is a small automatic fire extinguishing device that sits inside the enclosure, on a standard DIN rail, and reacts to heat on its own. When a fire starts, it releases an aerosol extinguishing agent inside the box and helps stop the fire at the source, before it spreads to the wiring and equipment around it. It needs no power supply, no wiring into your circuit and no maintenance, which makes it a simple and low-cost safety upgrade for homes, shops, offices and factories across Pakistan.
Important: This Is Not an Electrical Circuit Breaker
Despite the name, a fire breaker does not switch off electricity and does not replace your MCB, RCCB or main breaker. It is a fire suppression device that works together with them. Keep your normal electrical protection in place and add this device as an extra layer of fire safety.
Key Features of the Fire Breaker
- Automatic Heat Activation: The device reacts to fire heat by itself, so it works even when nobody is around, at night or during a power cut.
- DIN Rail Mount: It clips onto the standard DIN rail found in most distribution boards and control panels, so installation is quick and tidy.
- Aerosol Extinguishing Agent: The agent is released inside the enclosure to suppress the fire at its early stage.
- Extinguishing Density of 100 g/m³: Rated to protect small enclosed spaces, with the protected volume printed on the device label (up to 0.6 m³).
- Spray Time of 10 Seconds or More: The release lasts at least 10 seconds, which gives the agent time to fill the enclosure.
- 10-Year Service Life: The expiry date is 10 years from manufacture, and there is no refilling or servicing in between.
- CE Marked: The device carries the CE mark on its label.
- Compact Size: The slim body fits beside the breakers in a normal panel without a change to the wiring layout.
Where to Use the Fire Breaker
- Electrical distribution boards (DB boxes) in homes, shops and offices
- Control panels and MCC panels in factories
- UPS cabinets and battery cabinets
- Solar inverter and solar combiner panels
- Server racks, data cabinets and telecom cabinets
- Any small, closed electrical enclosure with a DIN rail
Why Do You Need a Fire Breaker?
Loose connections, overloaded circuits, overheating cables and aging parts are common causes of electrical fires, and in Pakistan load shedding, voltage swings and heavy solar and UPS loads make them more likely. A fire inside a closed box can burn for a long time before it is noticed. A fire breaker acts immediately inside the enclosure, where a hand-held extinguisher cannot reach. You can read more about how enclosed fire protection works in this guide to a fire suppression system.
Installation and Safety Tips
- Switch off and isolate the power before opening the panel, and have a qualified electrician install the fire breaker.
- Clip the device onto the DIN rail inside the enclosure and make sure it is fixed firmly.
- The casing surface can reach up to 200°C when the device discharges, so keep it clear of loose cables and plastic parts.
- This device is for small closed enclosures only. It is not made for open areas, rooms or vehicles.
- Keep your regular fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and fire alarm in place, since this device is an extra layer of protection.
- Note the manufacturing date, and replace the device when it reaches the 10-year expiry date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fire breaker the same as a circuit breaker?
No. It does not switch off electricity or protect against overload. It is a fire suppression device that works inside the enclosure, in addition to your normal MCB and RCCB.
Does it need electricity or batteries?
No. It activates by heat, so it works without a power supply, even during load shedding.
Where do I fit it?
It clips onto the DIN rail inside a closed electrical enclosure, such as a DB box, control panel, UPS cabinet or server rack.
What size of enclosure does it protect?
It is made for small closed compartments, with a protected volume of up to 0.6 m³ as printed on the device label.
How long does it last?
It has a 10-year service life from the manufacturing date and needs no maintenance during that time.
Can I use it in a room or a car?
No. It is only for small enclosed electrical compartments. For rooms and vehicles, use a proper fire extinguisher.
Does it give off heat when it discharges?
Yes. The casing can reach up to 200°C during discharge, so keep cables and plastic parts away from it.
