Which type of fire extinguisher is best suited for electrical fires?

A carbon dioxide extinguisher is specifically designed for extinguishing electrical fires because it displaces oxygen in the environment without conducting electricity. This makes it safe to use on energized electrical equipment. When CO2 is released from the extinguisher, it turns into a gas that cools the flames and suffocates the fire. Unlike water or foam extinguishers, which can conduct electricity and pose a risk of electrocution, carbon dioxide extinguishers provide an effective and safe solution for electrical fire scenarios. Additionally, they leave no residue, making them ideal for use in areas with sensitive electronic equipment.
