Design Calculation for 75 MVA G.S.U Transformer

A. Deluge valve calculation for Generator Transformer

The Calculation for water requirement of Generator Transformer is carried out based on
Clause No.3.2 of TAC Publication of "Rules for water spray system"-System Design of
Transformer Protection
Design Standard:-TAC Rules for Watre Spray System

Total Surface Area for the Transformer

= 513.60 Sq.m
Misc. area to be protected 10% considered = 51.36 Sq.m
Total surface area to be protected= 564.96 Sq.m

Total surface area to be protected= 564.96

Total water required @ 10.2 LPM/M2 = 5762.56 LPM
Flow Requriement for one Transformer 345.75 m3/hr

Deluge Valve proposed is 150mm dia having flow rate of 50 to 225 m3/hr (833.33 to 3750
LPM)
B.Sizing of Gravity Tank:
Requirement I :

As per Clause No. 7.4.1.4.6 of TAC Fire Protection manual -"Where transformer are protected
by high velocity water spray system tapped from hydrant system,water requirement of the
spray system worked out as above shall then be loaded by 1750 LPM (105 Cum/Hr) for
supplementry hose stream protection.If the total water requirement for spray protection and
hose stream protection worked out as above exceeds the requirements of the hydrant service
as per Table 2, the pumping capacity shall be equivalent to the former."
The total water requirement shall be as per TAC clause
Water requirement of the spray system (Larget deluge valve) : 345.75 m3/hr
As per TAC Supplementry hose stream protection : 105 m3/hr
Total water requirement for the fire fighting system : 450.75 m3/hr

As per TAC the capacity of static storage /Gravity tank for light hazard occupancies shall not
be less than the aggregate pumping capacity.
Size of Gravity Tank : 450.75 m3
As per NFPA 851 Cl.6.2.2 for 2 hours 901.507393592
Assuming 10m x
10m and depth
Dead Volume 20 m3 200mm
Total volume 921.507393592 m3
As per NFPA 851
Time for filling OHT 8 hr clause no. 6.2.3.4

Capacity of pump 115.188424199 m3/hr

Selected pump capacity 60 m3/hr

Requirement II :
As Per Clause No.3.2.2 of TAC Manual (Rules for water spray system) the effective exclusive
capacity of the reservoir / tank shall not be less than 40 minutes run for aggregate pumping
capacity for the spray system.
Min water required for the for spray system for 40 min : = 230.5025 m3
As per TAC Supplementry hose stream protection : = 70 m3
Total water requirement = 300.5025 m3
As per TAC the capacity of static storage /Gravity tank for light hazard occupancies shall not
be less than the aggregate pumping capacity.
