Substation Piped FM-200 Fire Extinguishing System

Substations are core hubs of the power system with high fire risk; clean automatic fire suppression systems without secondary damage are required.

Description

Substation Piped FM-200 Fire

Product Description

As the core hub of the power system, substations bear the responsibility of transforming, transmitting, and distributing electrical energy throughout society. Once a fire occurs, it will cause major safety accidents such as large-scale power outages and equipment damage, resulting in huge economic losses and adverse social impacts. The high-voltage switchgear, main transformer, control panel, cable trench, GIS room and other key areas in the substation are concentrated with a large number of high-voltage electrical equipment, dense cables and precision control components. The equipment operates under high load and high voltage for a long time, which is prone to electrical fires due to aging of the lines, poor contact, insulation damage, overload short circuit, poor equipment heat dissipation, etc. The fire risk is prominent and difficult to extinguish. According to the fire safety management standards and safety production special rectification requirements of the power industry, the core electrical area of the substation must be equipped with a clean, efficient, and non secondary damage automatic fire extinguishing system.

Introduction to project objectives

3.1 Safety Protection Objective: To establish a comprehensive and automated fire extinguishing and protection system for core protection areas such as high-voltage switchgear, GIS rooms, cable trenches, and control rooms in substations, to achieve accurate early detection, rapid alarm, and automatic linkage spraying of fires, ensuring reliable fire extinguishing after a fire occurs, preventing the spread of fire, and preventing major fire accidents.
3.2 Equipment protection objective: Select clean and residue free heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing agent to ensure that there are no water stains, dust, or corrosion during the fire extinguishing process, and that high-voltage electrical equipment, precision control components, cables, and insulation parts are not damaged. Minimize secondary damage to equipment caused by fire and fire extinguishing processes, and lay the foundation for rapid recovery and operation of equipment after a fire.
3.3 Power Supply Guarantee Objective: To achieve the goal of “extinguishing fires without affecting the safety of core equipment and quickly restoring power supply after a fire”, shorten the time of power outages caused by fires, ensure the continuity of regional power grid supply, reduce economic losses and social impacts caused by power outages, and ensure the stable performance of core functions of substations.
3.4 Compliance and Compliance Objectives: The entire process of project design, construction, installation, commissioning, and acceptance strictly follows national fire safety regulations and power industry standards, ensuring that the system meets safety production requirements, smoothly passes fire safety inspections and power industry safety special checks, and completely eliminates fire safety compliance hazards in substations.
3.5 Operation and Maintenance Adaptation Objective: The system has the characteristics of stability, reliability, easy operation, and convenient maintenance. It supports three control modes: manual, automatic, and emergency stop. It can seamlessly link with the existing fire alarm system, security system, and power monitoring system of the substation, achieve centralized monitoring, remote warning, and rapid emergency response, and improve the level of fire safety operation and maintenance management of the substation.
