Carbon dioxide protection is valuable in special application where -

a) accidents frequently occur,
b) water Damage susceptibilities are high
c) emergency-drainage problems are encountered.

Low-pressure CO2 system is particularly effective in voluminous spaces where running cables are permanently installed.

In India, High Pressure CO2 Systems are popular. These are areas in which water damage is feared to be more than fire damage & automatic inert gas based systems can be used for clean fire protection without fear of electrocution.

Cable Trench, Cable Channel, Cable Gallery Cable Vault of Electrical Substations, Control Buildings, MCC Room belong to this category.

The special protective equipment recommended for such Cable Trench, Cable Gallery/Channel, Cable Vault of Electrical Substations, Control Buildings, MCC Room is based upon :
A] the potential accident frequency
B] the value of the structure and its contents and
C] the adaptability of available protective measures
D] the inherent fire hazard.

In some instances the necessary speed of operation is not available and positive fire &/or explosion preventive measures, such as inert atmosphere or an explosion suppression system are needed.This is why CO2 based inert gas type fire protection is recommended for above said areas.
