One agent. Broad common cover.
An ABC dry powder extinguisher discharges a dry chemical powder used across Class A, B and C fire risks. That versatility makes it a common default for general facility areas where mixed fire risks may be present.
Powder leaves residue after discharge — one reason facilities often pair ABC units in general areas with CO₂ units near selected electrical equipment.

Powder or CO₂?
ABC powder covers a broad range of common risks but leaves residue; CO₂ is residue-free and commonly used near selected electrical equipment. Most facilities need both, in different places — the environment decides.
