World's safest extension cord

Built-in cord fire protection

Specially shielded conductors

Fire Shield technology is designed and engineered in the U.S.A.

 Electrical fires kill over 750 people and cause over $1 billion in property damage annually.  Extension cords have been identified by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission as a leading cause of electrical fires in the home.  Every six minutes there is an extension cord-related electrical fire in the US.

The Fire Shield Safety Extension Cord is the world's only power cord which can shut off power when a dangerous electrical condition or potential fire hazard is detected.  Built-in electronic circuitry continuously monitors the condition of the cord and shuts off power in just 25/1000's of a second if there is any damage or wear that can lead to combustion, before the fire can occur.

Fire Shield Surge Strips for College Students

Fire Shield is a next generation extension cord with built-in intelligence to sense cord damage and shut off the power before a fire can start. No other extension cord has this capability.

Industry statistics indicate there is a cord fire approximately every 6 minutes. The most frequent causes of such fires are short circuits, overloading, damage, and/or misuse of extension cords.

A special shield surrounds each of the insulated conductors of the Fire Shield Extension Cord. The shield is continuously monitored by electronics in the plug head. When a dangerous electrical condition is detected by current leaking to the shield, power is shut off before a fire can start.

Fire Shield differ from GFCI's and ground conductors. Grounded conductors only provide a path to ground. GFCI’s detect ground faults. Neither detects the breakdown in the insulation of a standard extension cord, which can lead to an arcing condition that may start a fire. By utilizing a sensing shield around the insulated Fire Shield conductors combined with intelligent electronics in the plug head, Fire Shield can detect damage in the cord such as series faults (broken and frayed conductors) and parallel faults (insulation damage between the live conductors), and shut off the power before a fire can start.

Unintentional misuse of extension cords is the main reason for cord fires. Cords may be crimped, pinched, frayed, overloaded, overheated, or just worn out. Any of these conditions can lead to an extension cord fire. Fire Shield can detect any leakage currents from these conditions and shut off power before a fire can occur.

The cord fire protection is a function of the special shield and relates to the Fire Shield extension cord only.

Fire Shiled should be used anywhere you use standard extension cords or power strips; in children’s rooms, pet areas, with space heaters, electric blankets, waterbeds, etc. Children and pets have been known to bite or chew electrical cords. Fire Shield, with its built-in intelligence may provide protection in these circumstances. Fire Shield Safety Extension Cords should also be used during the holidays with Christmas trees and other holiday decorations because of the tendency to overload extension cords.

Standard surge protectors only provide protection against power surges, which is important. However, standard surge protectors do not provide cord fire prevention. TRC has recently introduced a next generation line of Fire Shield Surge Protectors that not only protects against power surges, but also provides cord fire prevention.

Fire Shield cords are now required at many collegesas the only power strip allowed in college dorms. This is due to students overloading the strips, or tacking the cords to walls or pinching the cords between doors or around corners. All these issues can and will cause fires.

Fire Shield cords are patented and UL/CSA approved.

TVSS = SPD ~ Surge Protection

As of September 29, 2009, the newest UL 1449 3rd Edition safety standard for Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) is in effect. If you are responsible for protecting critical electrical systems, you need to know about these changes!

At a Glance the changes are:

• Suppressed Voltage Rating vs. Voltage Protection Rating - The SPD’s let-through voltage is now measured as it is subjected to an IEEE defined 6kV/3kA “combination waveform".
• Nominal Discharge Current (I_n) - The SPD’s Nominal Discharge Current capability, up to 20 kA, is now reported with the suppressor’s specifications and on its labeling.
• Suppressor Categories - The new standard categorizes SPDs as one of four designated types based upon whether or not they are a component, and where within an electrical distribution they are to be installed.
• TVSS is now SPD - The term identifying a surge suppressor as Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) was retired and will now be called a Surge Protective Device (SPD).
• Extended Scope - 3rd Edition UL now governs suppression products designed to protect on electrical circuits up to 1000 V.

Fire Shield Cords

Sords Electric Sell Fire Shield Cords and strips.

Fire Shield is the safest cord on the market.

Fire Shield products are ideal for home, office, and campus environments such as residence halls, labs, classrooms, libraries and other facilities. Fire Shield cords, with specially designed shielded conductors, are able to detect series faults and line-to-neutral faults, significantly reducing fire hazards. Available as power strips, surge protectors, appliance cords and extension cords.

Fire Shield is a next generation extension cord with built-in intelligence to sense cord damage and shut off the power before a fire can start. No other extension cord has this capability.

Please check our website to find the Fire Shield Surge Protector best suited for your requirements.

Many colleges and Universities now require that only the fire Shield cord and strips be used in dorm rooms. Cord fires are the leading cause of fire in dorm rooms. Please review the "Can you Prevent Univertiy Dorm Room Fires" brochure.
