Wind Turbine Fire Protection
Wind turbines catch fire primarily due to electrical or mechanical faults leading to ignition which spreads to the surrounding plastics and fibreglass nacelle. The fires tend to originate in the nacelle at one of three points of ignition – converter and capacitor cabinets, transformer or the brake.

By installing wind turbine fire protection into nacelles, many incidents could be prevented or contained quickly, to reduce economic losses and avoid unnecessary environmental damage to the surrounding environment.
