15.2 General description of NIFPES
15.2.1 Schematic of the system
NIFPES should be a stand alone dedicated system for oil filled transformer. It should have a fire
extinguishing (F.E.) cubicle placed on a plinth at a distance of 6-10 mtrs. from the transformer.
The F.E. cubicle may be connected to the transformer oil tank (near its top) and to the oil pit (of
capacity approx. equal to 10% of transformer oil tank) from its bottom through oil pipes with gate
valves. The F.E. cubicle should house a pressurised nitrogen cylinder connected to the
transformer oil tank (near its bottom). Cable connections are to be provided from signal box
placed on the transformer to the control box in the control room and from control box to F.E.

On receipt of all activating signals, drain of pre-determined quantity of oil commences
thus removing high temp. top oil layer. Simultaneously nitrogen is injected under high
pressure at a pre-fixed rate, stirring the oil thus bringing the temperature of top oil layer
down. Nitrogen occupies the space created by oil drained out and acts as an insulating
layer between the tank oil and fire on top cover. Pre-stressed non-return valve blocks oil
flow from conservator tank, thus isolating it & preventing aggravation of fire.

The Contractor shall provide the nitrogen injection fire protection cum extinguishing
system. The fire protection system using nitrogen as fire quenching medium is required
for the 100 MVA 220/33kV T/F NIFPES shall act as fire preventer by preventing
transformer oil tank explosion and possible fire in case of internal faults. In the event of
fire by external causes such as busing fire, OLTC fires, fire from surrounding equipment
etc, it shall act as a fast and effective fire fighter. NIFPES shall accomplish its role as fire
preventer and extinguisher without employing water and/or carbon dioxide. Fire shall be
put out within max. 3 minutes of system activation and within max. 30 seconds of
commencement of nitrogen injection.
15.1 Activation of NIFPES
Mal-functioning of fire prevention/extinguishing systems is their major shortcoming which leads
to interruption in power supply. The Contractor shall ensure that the chances of malfunctioning of
NIFPES are practically nil. To achieve this objective, the Contractor shall work out his scheme of
activating signals which, while preventing mal- operation, should not be too rigorous to make the
operation of NIFPES impracticable in case of actual need. Transformer isolation shall be the
mandatory pre-requisite for activation of the system in automatic mode or remote mode in the
control room. In addition, at least following electrical-signals shall be provided in series for
activating NIFPES.
15.1.1 Auto Mode

15.1.3 Manual Mode (Mechanical) : Tripping of all connected breakers is a

activation.
15.2 General description of NIFPES
15.2.1 Schematic of the system

NIFPES should be a stand alone dedicated system for oil filled transformer. It should have a fire
extinguishing (F.E.) cubicle placed on a plinth at a distance of 6-10 mtrs. From the transformer.
The F.E. cubicle may be connected to the transformer oil tank (near its top) and to the oil pit (of
capacity approx. equal to 10% of transformer oil tank) from its bottom through oil pipes with gate
valves. The F.E. cubicle should house a ressurized nitrogen cylinder connected to the
transformer oil tank (near its bottom). Cable connections are to be provided from signal box
placed on the transformer to the control box in the control room and from control box to F.E.
cubicle. Fire detectors placed at the top of transformer are to be connected in parallel to the signal
box. The signal box may be connected to a pre-stressed non-return valve fitted between the
conservator tank and Buchholz relay. Control box is also to be connected to relay panel in control
room for system activation signals.
15.2.2 Operation
On receipt of all activating signals, drain of pre-determined quantity of oil commences
thus removing high temp. top oil layer. Simultaneously nitrogen is injected under high
pressure at a pre-fixed rate, stirring the oil thus bringing the temperature of top oil layer
down. Nitrogen occupies the space created by oil drained out and acts as an insulating
layer between the tank oil and fire on top cover. Pre-stressed non-return valve blocks oil
flow from conservator tank, thus isolating it & preventing aggravation of fire.
15.2.3 System components
