I want to save this important information about safety on electrical installations

TAKE AWAY of TP vs Standard protections
- All these Protections are common to most installations nowadays, they are complementary not exclusive; today they can be considered as industry standards and its use is recommended by the NFPA 850*. Please follow local policies and your manufacturer recommendations to enhance safety.
- Some of these solutions do not prevent fire from happening but they are designed to control and extinguish the fire.
- Most of these solutions need to work with the aid of sensors and additional alarms and monitoring systems.
- As they need sensors, alarms, and monitoring, their reads can be altered by cyberattacks.
- None of these solutions can prevent tank rupture from internal arc fault.
- Some of these solutions don’t act as fast as needed.

TAKE AWAY of TP vs Standard protections
- Some of these solutions are not autonomous and some of them can be affected by extreme weather conditions.
- Some of these solutions can be misled and triggered by external factors (like a seism) and then misoperate.
- Some of these solutions act as alarms and monitoring devices, not as an explosion prevention device.
- As they need sensors, alarms, and monitoring, their reads can be altered by cyberattacks.
- Not always suitable to be installed on existing buildings, installations, and transformers.
- None of these solutions is designed to prevent or act in case of low impedance failure.
- The ones that are meant to prevent fire from happening are not as fast as needed.
- None of these solutions can prevent tank rupture from internal arc fault.
- Sometimes its installation is costly and difficult to perform.

TAKE AWAY of TP vs other protections
- Some of these solutions are not autonomous and some of them can be affected by extreme weather conditions.
- All these protections are meant to impact in a positive way the costs of maintenance of the Transformer.
- All these solutions act as alarms and monitoring devices, not as explosion prevention devices.
- As they need sensors, alarms, and monitoring, their reads can be altered by cyberattacks.
- None of these solutions is designed to prevent or act in case of low impedance failure.
- None of these solutions can prevent tank rupture from internal arc fault.
