01 Detect
Early detection is essential when dealing with lithium battery failures. Schneider systems continuously monitor off-gas formation, temperature changes and pressure build-up, allowing early signs of thermal runaway to be identified before ignition occurs. This enables the system to respond automatically while the incident is still controllable.
02 Intervene
Once early indicators of failure are detected, the system immediately initiates automated countermeasures. Active ventilation, rapid port closure and precision-controlled airflow are deployed to stabilize the environment and prevent escalation. By intervening at the earliest stage, the system stops thermal runaway from developing further, maintaining control over the situation.
03 Contain
In the event that a battery failure progresses, the Schneider Containment system ensures that all hazards remain securely contained within the enclosure. The explosion-proof housing, fire-resistant materials and dual pressure relief valves manage pressure build-up and prevent structural compromise. Harmful gases, flames and debris are confined, protecting the surrounding environment from impact.
04 Protect
The final layer focuses on safeguarding people, assets and operations. Integrated suppression using certified gel technology neutralizes remaining threats, while filtration systems reduce the release of hazardous substances. Combined with alarms, monitoring and backup power, the system ensures continuous protection—even during power loss—delivering complete peace of mind in critical environments.
