5.3.5 FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM
1. SCOPE:
This Specification covers the requirements of High Velocity Water Spray
System required for Transformer under the Scope as per TAC / BIS
requirement.
2. CODES AND STANDARDS
The design and installation of complete fire protection system shall comply
with regulations of Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) of India. In the absence
of TAC regulations, NFPA - National Fire Protection Association / VdS shall
be followed
3. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The makes/models and technical features offered for various components/
equipment shall comply with the standards of TAC/ BIS/ UL/ Vds and FM
/ NFPA as applicable.
4. HIGH VELOCITY WATER SPRAY SYSTEM (HVWS)

a. Automatic High velocity water spray system (HVWS) shall be provided for
the Transformer. The water required for this system shall be tapped from
the existing header of HVWS system. The required modification shall be
done without affecting the existing system. The bidder shall make site
visits, ascertain the existing system and assess the requirement for the
present scope before submitting the offer.
b. The location of wet pilot type deluge valve shall be kept away from the
equipment to be protected. The water supply to the HVW spray system is
controlled by deluge valve which shall be operated hydraulically and this
valve normally closed by water pressure. The water pipe forms a ring
around the equipment to be protected and frangible bulb type detectors
are mounted on this water line at selected places as per TAC norms.
When the surrounding temperature rises more than the rated
temperature of the detector, the detector quartzoid bulb collapses and
consequently the pressure in water line falls sharply. This fall of pressure
opens the deluge valve and water starts projecting out from the
projectors. Local audible alarm is produced by water motor gong. Remote
/ manual actuation push button units shall also be provided for the
deluge valve.
c. Suitable detectors shall be provided for the transformer for initiation of

automatically as well as manually from a point located near the
transformer. For this purpose, required number of solenoid valve with
push buttons etc. shall be provided. The manual operation of the water
spray system shall be possible with 220 + 10% D.C. supply from the
station battery & also by opening a drain valve provided for the purpose
manually.

provided to work automatically in the event of fire. mulsifyre system
shall be provided with an alarm and gong at suitable location in the
vicinity of the plant protected. The hydraulically operated gong shall be
connected to the installation to give audible alarm in the event of fire in
the protected section of premises.
p. The system should be such that firefighting system can be operated and
the water can be discharged on the live transformer without damage to
the equipment or risk to the personnel.
q. All the required pipes, valves, fittings, pipe supports/projectors,
detectors etc., are included under the scope of this supply and shall be
supplied and installed by the successful bidder
5. LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS
The layout shall be strictly in compliance with TAC especially with regard
to clearances
