Appliance fire, fire extinguishers can use gas?

Answer:

Be careful not to use acid base or foam extinguisher, because the fire extinguishing liquor has electric conductivity, and the person who holds the fire extinguisher will get an electric shock. This solution strongly corrodes the electrical equipment and is not easily removed afterwards.
In the power of the electrical fire fighting is not cut off, then use the following: fire extinguisher extinguishing action -- on carbon tetrachloride with electrical equipment fire extinguishing better, carbon tetrachloride does not burn, nor conductive. Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher - the most suitable for fighting electrical and electronic equipment fire, carbon dioxide is not corrosive, and will not damage the equipment. Dry powder fire extinguisher - it combines the advantages of carbon tetrachloride and carbon dioxide, it is suitable for fighting electric fire, and the speed of fire extinguishing is fast.
In the operation of electrical equipment, fire must be cut off before the power supply. If you can not quickly cut off electricity, you can use carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride, 1211 fire extinguishers or dry powder fire extinguishers and other extinguishers. When in use, adequate safety distance shall be maintained. For 10kV and below equipment, the distance shall not be less than 40cm.
