In the transformer or computer servers rooms, the most effected product is Halon1301, but unfortunately, It has a big effect in the Ozone level of the Earth. There are a lot of alternative products, while they are not as efficient as Halon1301, but in the positive side, they do not affect the environment, such as, FM-200, FE-13, Inert gas, CO2, and others. You can visit the following website: http://worldhalon.com/file/alternatives.htm
for more information about these products.
Carbon Di Oxide is better for Transformer room.
Dear Engineer,
Since your in saudi arabia, the widely use product now here is FM200 or the NOVEC system,it is much better and cheaper than HALON.
You can use CO2 fire extinguisher system
the better protection is foam.
The best is CO2 Automatic fire system
The FM200 & CO2 are the best ones
