The nice ting is they [halon extinguishers] don't
leave any residue
to clean up. So I now keep them around old machines, just in case.
I would think dry chemical bottle would make a huge
mess.
Probably, but better than burning the place down. :-/ (And yes, I
realize that's not the choice you see yourself as faced with.)
So what's
the current "safe" electronics fire extinguisher look like
nowadays?
I'd like to know too. I'm not ready to give up my halon
bottles
because of the residue.
I should think that carbon dioxide snow would be effective on
electrical fires (assuming power has been shut off, of course), and it
leaves no residue either (at least if it really is just CO2 flakes - is
CO2 as used in fire extinguishers just carbon dioxide, or does it have
stuff added to it?).
