Re: Automated Sprinklers In A Data Center??? Do Fire Codes require your local firefighters to put out an Electrical Substation Fire with Water???
With the power still turned on??
What's the big deal with 35,000 volts and a little bit of water anyway... 
I'll have to research this with the NFPA codes, because it doesn't sound logical at all.
I don't want to be holding onto a Soaker line, that is dumping water onto ANYTHING electrical, that is still live.
I still would never in a second, consider deploying a critical computer server at a facility that uses a Water Sprinkler system.
Forget the Ammonium Sulfate/Phosphate "Dry Chemical" as well.
I have done restoration work on a computer center that had a fire that was extinguished with "Dry Chemical", and every computer within a 50 foot radius was destroyed by the fire extinguisher.
The abrasive dry chemical "magically" found itself contaminating the bearings of every cooling fan around, completely seized them up, and burnt up every single computer, due to the lack of cooling air.
Go pour a bucket of sand into your PC and see how long it lives....
