The Challenge
At home, as well as in the industry, there are countless technical devices and appliances to support our modern daily life. Most of this equipment are electronic products of some sort. It can be computers, dishwashers or dryers, entertainment and lighting equipment, switchboards or smart home devices. In the industry, computer hardware, electronic equipment, electric cabinets and PCB boards can be found pretty much everywhere.
While having all these products makes life more comfortable, they also pose an increased danger of electrical faults, or even fires. Globally, more than 30% of all fires are caused by electric or electronic equipment or installations. With the inherent risk of fire from electric devices, danger for life and loss of property or equipment values increases with the number of such devices around us.
Following the vision “A world where everyone is protected against the dangers of fi re, everywhere and anytime”, JOB has developed solutions to detect and extinguish electric fires when they are still small and in an early stage. With the internationally protected E-Bulb, JOB has designed a reliable system that detects heat inside an electric device (e.g. from fire), extinguishes the fire and – most importantly – prevents a fire from re-igniting by interrupting the electric power supply.
