Abstract: Guidance is provided to substation engineers in determining the design, equipment, and practices deemed necessary for the fire protection of substations. All rights reserved. Published 27 November 2012. Printed in the United States of America.
Existing fire protection standards, guides, and so on that may aid in the design of specific substations or substation components are listed in Annex F. This revision updates that guidance. Guidance is provided to substation engineers in determining the design, equipment, and practices deemed necessary for the fire protection of substations.
Restrictions apply. This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 979-2012, IEEE Guide for Substation Fire Protection. Since the original edition of IEEE Std 979 (issued in 1994 and reaffirmed in 2004) was prepared, the body of knowledge on fire protection has increased significantly.
This clause provides additional information to 1.2. Fire protection measures reduce the fire risks to the public in the vicinity of the substation and to emergency response personnel. These measures can also decrease the risk to operating personnel. Fire protection should be integral to the planning, design, and operation of substations.
Nearby combustible buildings and warehouses often represent substantial fuel loads that can expose the substation to conductive smoke, fire plumes, radiant heat, and soot. Spatial separation or other fire protection methods should be used to protect the substation from these types of external threats.
There are some substation fire-related losses that can significantly affect a company’s ability to generate revenue and profit. A careful analysis of the substation equipment and operation can identify critical equipment that creates a significant fire hazard.
