Transformer Blast Walls: Fire Protection for Substations

Transformer Fire Protection Barrier

High-voltage transformer fire barriers, also called transformer firewalls, ballistic firewalls, or blast walls, are specialized outdoor structures that prevent fires or explosions from a single transformer from spreading to nearby equipment. These barriers mitigate risks by isolating transformer fires and containing hazards like combustible transformer oil.

These robust barriers protect both life and critical infrastructure by containing or redirecting explosive forces and intense heat away from sensitive areas. Used globally, a fire separation system is essential in ensuring operational continuity and safety in power distribution networks.

Sinisi Solutions Transformer Blast Walls are a key part of many facilities’ transformer contingency plans, providing transformer fire protection and serving as a fire separation against any ignition source and transformer failures.
