    To prevent electrical fires, compliance with codes of practice for electrical installations, use of fire protection systems, and common safety practices should be followed. Codes of practice contain design criteria to minimize fire risks. Fire protection systems like cables coated with flamastic help protect buildings by making cables fire resistant and reducing smoke. Flamastic is applied to cables in areas prone to fires like control rooms. Proper installation and maintenance of safety devices like circuit breakers also reduces fire risks.

    PREVENTION OF ELECTRICAL FIRES

    •Compliance with the Code of Practice


    •Fire Protection System
    •Common Practices
    Compliance with Code of Practice
    •Contains information on the essential design
    criteria which should be met to satisfy
    environmental health.
    •By meeting the requirements of the CP, risks
    of fire outbreak and propagation will
    minimized.
    •

    An : Extract
    This code is designed to protect
    •Persons
    •Property and •
    •Livestock, in locations intended for them,
    •Against hazards arising from an electrical
    installation used with
    reasonable care having regards to the purpose for
    which installation
    is intended.
    •
    FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
    •Protect building occupants from the
    fire and smoke during an outbreak.
    •For example:
    •Cables must be inflammable and self
    extinguishing.
    •Cables must emit low volume of smoke
    when combusted.
    •

    How?
    Use Flamastic
    •
    Flamastic
    •Compound of waterbase thermoplastic
    resins, flame retardant chemicals and
    inorganic incombustible fibers.
    •Coated on cables to prevent
    propagation of fire.
    •Sprayed or applied
    •Permanent fire protection measure.

    Where is it
    used?
    Use of Flamastic
    •Cables underneath and in the
    vicinity of control room.
    •Pump rooms
    •Generator Set room,
    •UPS room, How to use?
    •Places that require fire proofing.
    How to use
    •Clean cable surface area to remove dust, oil,
    any other foreign matter
    •Spray application onto cable. Like paint, 2
    layers are required. May be brushed too.
    •Upon completion, remove scaffolding and
    painting equipments as they are fire hazards.
    Common Practices
    •Ensuring safety in the circuit;
    check that fuses, insulators are in
    working order.
    •Each consumer unit should be
    equipped a circuit breaker.
    - Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
    - Miniature Circuit Breaker
