How Does a Powder Extinguisher Work?

The dry powder extinguishers operate by releasing a specially designed fine powder through a high-pressure gas mechanism. This propels the powder from the storage cylinder. The primary component of this powder is monoammonium phosphate (MAP), which boasts exceptional fire-extinguishing properties. For Class A and E fires, the powder coats flammable materials, effectively cutting off the fire's fuel supply and halting its progression. In Class B fires, the powder interrupts flammable liquid vapor, starving the fire of fuel and instantly extinguishing it. These extinguishers are also safe for use on live electrical equipment. Rigorous testing, including a 100kV non-conductivity test for AS/NZS1841 certification, ensures their safety. This means the operator can discharge the extinguisher onto powered electrical devices or switchboards without risk.
