OD [KY = Strategic locations in Process, utlty ‘areas where specific safety operations are to be carried out such as * Areas near heat exchangers, condensers Barring gears of steam turbine * Some — portions of roads interconnecting substations and process plants. vil) As_a good engineering practice the AC. ‘emergency load is generally considered as 20-25% of Normal Lighting load. However for small plants, where A.C. emergency load is not substantialwhere there is no separate standby 0.G. set, D.C. critical lighting system may take care of entire emergency lighting. vi)The following operational philosophy is recommended. Under normal operation, both emergency and normal lighting shall be fed by Normal power source. On failure of normal supply, emergency lighting load will be transfered to emergency source after the start of D.G. set within 15 seconds. rica lighting (0.C. supply based) will be nomally kept ‘ON’ and during Normalemergency power failure, battery will provide power. vil) Besides, adequate number of self ‘contained portable hand lamps and Battery ‘emergency lighting units shall be provided for immediate use in emergency at remote stations and at other strategic places (safe areas), wherever required, for personnel safety ix) HPMVIMLL lamps shall generally be used {or outdoor plant lighting. Keeping in view the restrike time lag and to avoid complete darkness in case of a voltage dip/brown out Conditions, necessary incandescent lamps may be judiciously distributed throughout the plant area. Incandescent lamps may be considered for emergency lighting to achieve this objective, Fluorescent lamps may be used for indoor lighting in non- pracess bulidings and control rooms. Safe ‘area street lighting and yard lighting may employ sodium vapour lamps. Low Pressure sodiun: vapour lamps shall not be installed in hazardous areas, x) The ilumination levels in different areas shall be as per good engineering practice, Depending on the nature of job activities to be camed out the suggested minimum ilumination levels for various areas are as under ‘Areas Miumination in Lux = Main roads (along process 7 - 10 units, power houses, ‘workshops, ete.) = Secondary roads (along 3 - 5 storage tanks setting basins etc.) = Tank farm 10 ~ Pump houses, sheds 100 = Main operation platforms 60 & access stairs ~ Ordinary platforms 20 + Process areas, pipe 60 racks, heat exchanger, heater, separators, cooling tower, columns, pig launching/receiving loading area, flare etc = Switchgear blag 150-200 = Transformer bay 100 = Battery oom 150 = Control room bldg Jlaboratory 400 placate = Boller house 150 = Charger/UPS rooms 160-200 = Cooling tower 60 + Switehyard () operating area 100 (i other areas 50 ~ Warehouse 100 = Office 309 = Compressor area 200 + Watehroom 100 = Stairs 50 + Conidorsite 70
