FIRETRACE© is a self-contained automatic detection and suppression system that ensures fast acting, around-the-clock fire protection. The system is installed in 37 wind turbines at the new Waterloo wind farm project in South Australia. Each of the transformer rooms and electrical cabinets in the nacelles of the three MW Vestas V90 turbines have been fitted with FIRETRACE to help them withstand the vibration, dirt, dust, and temperature extremes known to cause traditional systems to fail in these challenging environments. A single direct-discharge FIRETRACE system protects the turbine’s three electrical cabinets; two indirect discharge systems were selected for the transformer room. www.firetrace.com.
