This document provides guidelines for fire safety in cable runs. It outlines that fire resistant coating should be applied to cables in fire prone areas, at cable joints, entries/exits, and for cables above 230 volts in cable trays or tunnels at intervals of 30 meters. The coating forms a protective char when exposed to fire, preventing propagation. It must adhere to cables and maintain properties in various environments from -40 to 71 degrees Celsius. Fire stop putty should also protect cable entries to panels for cables over 33kV.

1 Instructions Facilities: Conference room & exits Toilets Coffee / Tea Some ground rules: Mobile phone (vibrate /silent) and Do not use Laptop during sessions During breaks: Use for your calls Be back on time Emergency: Fire - evacuate to assembly points Tata Steel BSL Limited TATA Steel BSL Limited FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM IN CABLE RUNS OF POWER SYSTEM Standard for Fire Safety in cable runs
Purpose: Purpose of this safety standard is to achieve adequate
Fire safety in cables runs. Scope: Procedure covers the requirements of fire safety in respect of cables runs in trenches, vaults ,tunnels, trays, riser etc in industrial complex. Definition Cable runs: A stretch of cables for carrying the electrical current from one point to other. Cable tray: A horizontal or vertical support for cable run. Cable rack: Two or more cable arrange one over other Standard for Fire Safety in cable runs
Cable rack.
Cable tray The concept of fire protection of- cable trenches / tunnels/vaults :
Preventing / delaying fire damage to the cables to
preserve their functioning and increasing their resistance to fire. Preventing/retarding flame propagation through cable runs. Providing effective fire detection and alarm system. FIRE RESISTANT CABLE COATING COMPOUND
is a asbestos free, non-toxic, inorganic compound which
prevent the propagation of fire along electrical cables.
Compound when exposed to Fire, starts in tumescent
immediately thereby forming a char on the cables and acts as on barrier against flame and heat, hence not allowing propagation of fire along electrical cables. Application: Pre-application surface shall be free of dust, grease & Oil. Cable Coating should be thoroughly stirred before application. The Coating shall be applied by normal brushing application on the cable first a thin layer allow it to touch dry then second coat shall be applied, if required third coat can be applied to achieve a wet film thickness of 2.5 mm which shall give a dry film thickness of 1.6 mm. Fire Prone Area:
The area which has history of fire in the cables.
The area which is full of combustible material in the surrounding
like non ventilated oil cellars etc. The area where the ambient temperature may go high in normal operating conditions more than 70 deg C for one hour continuously • Oven top in the Coke ovens. • Passing through hot metal handling zones in SMS and Blast Furnaces, near Reheating Furnace in Mills, Boilers in power plant etc. Any other area identified by the Engineer in-charge. Cable vault /cellar THE STANDERD PRACTICE for Fire Resistant of Cable Coating are: - In bunched cables running horizontally at an intermittent distance. The vertical runs (Fire travels faster in verticals with the draft effect). Cables at all entry / exit points. Cables in High Heat zones. Cables at crises-crossings all sides. Cables in area of Oil / Lubricant spillage, coal dust etc. Cable above 230 Volts Cable above 230 Volts in cable tunnels /cable trays should be painted up to a length of one meter at an interval of every 30 meter.
Cable entry into the vault should
be protected with fire barrier / fire stop. in cable tunnels /cable trays should be painted up to a length of one meter. . Fire Stop: Fire Stop system is a specific construction consisting of the material like Mortars, mineral wool sheet or other fire resistance materials which is provided around the penetrating items such as cables, cable trays, conduits, pipes etc. through the wall. The Fire Stop system is primarily designed to prevent the spread of fire from one compartment to other compartment by filling the opening around penetrating items. Fire stop coating should be applied on the surface of cable such that dry film thickness of 1.6 mm is achieved Technical Specifications: 1) Fire Stop Coating should be compatible for FRLS, PVC, Neoprene, silicone rubber etc. sheathing of cables. 2) It should not impair the current carrying capacity of the cables. 3) It should not impair the dielectric strength of the cables. 4) It should retard the fire spread due to internal short circuit of cables or external source and arrest its propagation along vertical as well as horizontal direction of cables. 5) It should be water, oil and weather resistant and suitable for indoor as well as outdoor applications. Its property should not deteriorate after prolonged exposure to indoor/outdoor/damp environment.
6) Coating materials must adhere to the cables and
maintain their fire protection properties through a temperature range of -40 degree C to 71 degree C FR COATING ON POWER CABLES FIRE STOP Sum up – Fire resistant should be applied- • Just below the end termination up to a length of one meter inside the panel (if space available), •Just below the panel entry up to a length of one meter • Joints up to a length of one meter in both directions. •Transformer terminal box .
For cable of voltage 33 kV and above, cable entry to the
panel should also be protected with Fire Stop along with fire resistant coating.
