Wires: from villains to part of the solution

For a long time, wires where considered the big villains of fires. Electrical failure or malfunctions account for almost 34,000 home fires, on average, per year and result in roughly 440 deaths and $1.3 billion in direct property damage according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Nowadays, manufacturers have developed products focusing on electrical safety. Cables have been developed that enhance electrical safety. There are wires that reduce flame propagation, the smoke and dangerous gasses emitted; maintain an electrical supply while burning. Wires now are also capable of detecting heat along its length.

Protectowire Linear Heat Detector offers a sensor cable is comprised of two steel conductors individually insulated with a heat sensitive polymer. The insulated conductors are twisted together to impose a spring pressure between them, then wrapped with a protective tape and finished with an outer jacket suitable for the environment in which the detector will be installed.

Protectowire is a fixed temperature digital sensor and is therefore capable of initiating an alarm once its rated activation temperature is reached. And is a component of a complete family of systems manufactured by The Protectowire Company — a leader in fire detection since 1938.
