Test for IEEE 979 Substation Fire Protection

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEEE 979 testing. Substation engineers are guided in determining the design, equipment and applications deemed necessary for fire protection of substations.

This standard was developed to specify substation fire protection practices that are generally accepted by industry. This standard includes changes to industry practices for substation fire protection. The purpose of this standard was to provide design guidance, fire hazard assessment and pre-fire planning to substation engineers in the field of fire protection.

IEEE 979 provides guidance on the selection and installation of fire protection systems and features for electrical substations, including indoor and outdoor facilities, switchyards and control rooms. The standard covers a wide range of fire protection topics, including fire detection and alarm systems, automatic fire suppression systems, fire barriers and fire doors, fire extinguishers and emergency lighting.

In addition to providing recommendations for fire protection systems and features, IEEE 979 also includes guidance on fire risk assessments, fire drills and emergency response planning. The standard highlights the importance of developing a comprehensive fire protection plan that takes into account the specific hazards and risks associated with each substation.
