IIRC, Purple K is one of the agents that eats aluminum. And wire insulation.
I may be thinking of a different dry-chemical extinguisher, but at least one of them did the above.

Sorry not true. Like any powered agent it is best to blow off the residue with an air hose. It’s when it comes in contact with water then left to dry which causes problems.
If water is applied after the dry chem agent make sure it’s flushed with copious amounts of water.
For electrical fires buy a Halotron fire extinguisher. I carry both in my 914.
