Customer ServiceClasses of Fire: A, B, C, E (NFPA 2010), A, B, C, F . For electrical equipment in substations, we also recommend installing a smaller aerosol automatic fire extinguisher system. The following model is available for your reference: 20 to 60 grams fire extinguisher.
Customer ServiceThe major fire risks and detection difficulties within Substations arise as a result of the following: Electrical arcing and the build-up of static electrical charge within equipment. Overheating of electrical control equipment, switchgear and cabling.
Customer ServiceThe type of equipment and facilities found in the substation are foreign to most of the operating environments to which the fire department personnel are exposed. Therefore, the installation of fire protection in a substation will help control or suppress fires and allow the fire department to access the facility safely.
The heat from failed capacitor bank completely destroyed the attached main incomer 400 volt switchboard for a very large shopping mall and spread the fire around substation. The radiant heat from this fire also destroyed the control panel and switchboard for the emergency power generator that was located directly opposite.
Compartmentalisation and other requirements of substations shall limit the extent of damage and reduce restoration times for the building and equipment. On this basis, the Ausgrid design requirements to reduce fire spread in substations can be more onerous than the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
The room must be properly ventilated but sunlight must not be allowed to shine directly on to the cells. The major fire risks and detection difficulties within Substations arise as a result of the following: Electrical arcing and the build-up of static electrical charge within equipment.
Another standard studied is IEEE 979, IEEE Guide for Substation Fire Protection. The standard details the various fire hazards that may exist in substations, which could be attributed to the main or auxiliary system, or to the activities undertaken within substations.
If the substation designer finds that the local fire emergency resources and water supply are inadequate for manual firefighting, then passive or active automatic fire protection measures should be considered as part of the overall substation fire protection scheme.
