4.0 General principles of fire prevention and protection / combating measures:

Fire us the oxidation of a combustible material releasing heat, light and various
reactions products such as carbon dioxide and water if hot enough the gases
many become ionized to procedure plasma. Depending on the substances alight,
and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire’s intensity might
vary. Fire in its most common form can result in configuration, which has the
potential to cause physical damage through burning.

Fires start when a flammable and /or a combustible material with an adequate
supply of oxygen on another oxidizer is subjected to enough heat and is able to
sustain a chain reaction. This is commonly called the fire tetrahedron. Fire cannot
exist without all of these elements being in place.

Once ignited, a chain reaction must take place whereby fires cab sustain their
own heat by the further release of heat energy in the process of combustion and
may propagate, provided there is a continuous supply of an oxidizer and fuel.

Fire can be extinguished by removing any one of the elements of the fire
tetrahedron, Fire Extinguishing by the application of water acts by removing heat
from the fuel faster them combustion generates is. Application of carbon dioxide
is intended primarily to starve the fire of oxygen. And fire extinguisher chart shall
be displayed with legible letters for efficient use of fire extinguisher. (Fire
Extinguisher chart attached separately).

POWER SUBSTATION IMPROVEMENTS

4.1 Fire Extinguishing and Extinguisher:

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device to extinguish or control small

fires, often in emergency situation. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control
fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e. no escape
route, smoke, explosion hazard etc.,) or otherwise required the expertise of a fire
department.

Typically a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel

containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire.

There are two main types of the fire Extinguisher:

1. Stored Pressure.
2. And Generated Pressure.

Types of Fire Extinguishers

 Water Fire Extinguishers:

The cheapest and most widely used fire extinguishers. Used for Class A fires. Not
suitable for Class B (Liquid) fires, or where electricity is involved.

 Foam Fire Extinguishers:


More expensive than water, but more versatile. Used for Classes A & B fires.
Foam spray extinguishers are not recommended for fires involving electricity, but
are safer than water if inadvertently sprayed onto live electrical apparatus.

 Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher:

Dry chemical extinguishers are normally hand portable and contain 9 kilogram
(20Ibs) of powder. Larger wheeled extinguishers of 50 kilograms (110 Ibs) and
 above are available.
Most dry chemical extinguisher have a powder that is good in controlling class “A”,
“B” and “C” fires. The ABC powder gives this particular fire extinguisher a good
chance of controlling any fire be it a wood, petroleum liquid or electrical fire.

 RC 071 – C16R PROJECT
EPC OF RAISING OVERHEAD POWER LINES & KFIP
POWER SUBSTATION IMPROVEMENTS

 CO2 Fire Extinguishers:

Carbon dioxide is ideal for fires involving electrical apparatus, and will also
extinguish class B liquid fires, but has NO POST FIRE SECURITY and the fire could re-
ignite.

 WET CHEMICAL:

Specialist extinguisher for class F fires

 FOR METAL FIRES;

A specialist fire extinguisher for use class D fires – metal fires such as sodium,
lithium, manganese and aluminum when in the form of swarf or turnings.

4.8 DETAILED ANALYSIS OF FIRE CASE STUDIES:

4.8.1 Especially those fires where large

4.8.2 Numbers of people have been involved.

4.8.3 Integration and relative value of the components of escape route design,

4.8.4 Especially smoke movement and control.

4.9 POTENTIAL HAZARDS

4.9.1 Waste and combustible material being stored on site and offices
In site and laydown, there can be a build-up of waste such as paper,
cardboard, wood and other combustible materials. If this is not disposed
regularly, it provides plenty of fuel for any potential fires should they break
out. All it takes is a source of ignition, for example a discarded cigarette to
set this alight and it could result in a fire that burns rapidly.

4.9.2 Flammable liquids and vapors

This may be more of a threat in some types of workplace than others.
Particularly at risk is the warehouse where there may be large amounts of
flammable liquids and vapors stored. Flammable liquids can ignite instantly
when they come into contact with a spark or naked flame. Vapors are also
particularly dangerous as they spread out, carrying the risk of an explosion
with devastating consequences.

4.9.3 Objects that generate heat

Heat is one of the vital ingredients of fire. Some electrical equipment and
machinery warms up when used providing the potential for a fire to start.
Combustible materials such as paper away from heat sources and unplug
any equipment that is not being used if possible.

4.9.4 Faulty electrical equipment

Fires caused by electrical equipment are one of the most common types of
fire in the workplace. Look out for any signs of loose cabling, damaged
plugs and replace any faulty equipment. All electrical equipment should be
regularly checked by competent electrician.

4.9.5 Smoking
Discarded cigarettes can cause fires if not put out and disposed of properly.
Smoking can be especially hazardous if it is allowed to take place near
areas where flammable materials are present. Designated smoking area is
made available in site and laydown area. Staff should also be encouraged
to make sure that any cigarettes are put out properly and to use specially
provided bins for their cigarettes.

against electrical hazards is a must. Though electricity is the most
versatile form of energy, suitable precaution should be taken to avoid
bodily harm or property damage.
9.2 Existing Substation Facility
While working inside energized substations, valid work permit should be
secured and always made available at the site. DATA should be well
informed about the activity to be carried out inside the S/S and if
necessary, the work permit receiver should obtain clearance lock and
hold tag and should install his own lock on the de-energized, grounded
and locked out equipment.
The authorized work permit receiver shall also be responsible for
obtaining clearance for working inside the S/S and will be present at all
times at the works site. He will leave the site temporarily only after
handing over his responsibility to another authorized receiver of work
permit and upon notifying the concerned issuer of work permit.
9.3 Substation Equipment Testing
During substations equipment testing at site, all the necessary safety
precautions must be observed. Equipment and circuits made available to
the test personnel must be de-energized and disconnected from the
existing power system, properly tested and grounded as per SEC
approved procedures. Visual checks of the disconnection must be made
and confirmed with the use of suitable voltage indicator devices. All
equipment and circuits shall be treated as energized unless
Positively known to be dead or de-energized and adequately grounded.
All personnel responsible for the test must be fully aware of SEC
standard safety practices and equipped with suitable protective devices.
9.4 Ground Connections
Ground connections to the de-energized circuits must only be removed
to permit the required application of test voltage and must be restored
immediately after completion of the test. Approved safety precautions
must be followed for application and removal of ground connection to the
HV equipment/circuits.
