In My Opinion and Practice, I prefer clean agent such as NOVEC-1230 gas

 

3 reasons for using Gas Flooding particularly NOVEC1230 are

first and foremost it is non toxic, eco friendly

it has low discharge time and more reliable flooding compare to powder

it leave the space clean after extinguishing fire unlike powder flooding

 

Perhaps I will go with Powder Flooding in case

Transformer area is not enclosed and cannot be made as  air tight

I don't require any green certificate for building

budget is constrain
