Description
Heat Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Device for Electrical Equipment
Live Electrical | LFE10G-RED
The Live Electrical LFE10G-RED Heat Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Device provides automatic fire suppression for enclosed electrical and equipment spaces where early fire detection and rapid intervention are critical. The device activates automatically when high temperatures are detected (approximately 170°C), releasing a fire-suppressing aerosol within ≤ 6 seconds to extinguish fires at an early stage.
Designed specifically for consumer units, distribution boards, control panels, and electrical enclosures, the LFE10G-RED discharges directly inside the protected space, helping to limit fire spread, reduce heat damage, and prevent escalation before external fire intervention is required.
The unit is self-contained, requiring no external power supply, and is suitable for both new installations and retrofit applications. Its compact design allows installation in confined spaces, with mounting options via 35mm DIN rail or the supplied adhesive fixing.
Automatic Fire Protection for Electrical Enclosures
By operating directly within the enclosure, the LFE10G-RED provides fast, targeted fire suppression for electrical environments. The aerosol agent is designed to be equipment-friendly, making it suitable for use around sensitive electrical and electronic components when deployed as intended.

Service Life, Disposal & Safety Guidance
- Service Life: Device must be replaced after 10 years
- Disposal: Unused or expired devices must be disposed of via hazardous waste disposal
- Re-energisation Warning:
If the device activates, it indicates a serious thermal event has occurred inside the enclosure. All electrical equipment should be fully inspected by a qualified electrical professional before power is restored.
Value and Risk Consideration
The cost of replacing a consumer unit or individual electrical components is minimal compared to the potential damage caused by an electrical fire. Activation of the LFE10G-RED represents a successful safety intervention that may prevent significant property damage or loss of life.
Typical Applications
- Consumer units
