Study Notes
Overview
- This standard provides guidance for substation fire protection.
- Updates on fire hazard assessment and pre-fire planning were added, as well as changes in industry practices.
- This guide focuses on mineral oil fires as it is the predominant dielectric fluid for transformers, highlighting the hazard in substations.
- This guide focuses on mineral oil fires as it is the predominant dielectric fluid for transformers, highlighting the hazard in substations.
- “Less-flammable” dielectric fluids are an alternative to mineral oil as they have higher flash and fire points.
- Substation design engineers, operation and maintenance staff, fire protection engineers, local fire departments, the authority having jurisdiction over the substation, architects and code consultants are involved in fire protection.
- The guide provides standardized fire protection guidance for several types of substations, including:
- Generating plant switchyards
- Customer substations
- Switching substations
- Transmission substations
- Distribution substations
- Capacitor substations
- Converter station switchyards
- Several substation designs are specified:
- Outdoor substations
- Indoor substations
- Multistory above-grade substations
- Underground substations
