FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF NITROGEN INJECTION FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

FOR OIL FILLED TRANSFORMER

GENERAL :

Nitrogen Injection Fire Prevention and extinguishing System designed

for oil filled transformers, shall prevent tank explosion and the fire
during internal faults resulting in an arc where tank explosion will
normally take few seconds after arc generation and also extinguish the
external oil fires on transformer top cover due to tank explosion
and/or external failures like bushing fires, due to OLTC fires and
fire from surrounding equipments.

The system shall work on the principle of DRAIN AND STIR and on
activation, shall drain a pre-determined quantity of oil from the tank
top through outlet valve, to reduce the tank pressure and inject
nitrogen gas at high pressure from the lower side of the tank through
inlet valves to create stirring action and reduce the temperature of
top oil surface below flash point to extinguish the fire.

Conservator tank oil shall be isolated during tank explosion and oil
fire, to prevent aggravation of oil fire.

Transformer isolation shall be an essential pre-condition for

activating the system

The system shall be designed to operate manually, in case of failure

of power source.

OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

The system is provided with automatic control for fire Prevention and
fire extinction besides remote electrical switch control on control
box and local manual control in the fire extinguishing cubicle.

Transformer isolation through Master trip relay, or circuit breaker

(HV and LV in series) shall be an essential requirement for the system
activation in automatic or remote electrical control.
(Drawing Nr. FS 1966 A3 01)

A. Automatic control:

A.1 Operation under prevention mode :

Due to internal arcing gases are generated, resulting into
pressurizing the transformer tank. These leads to operation of
differential relay, pressure relief valve and / or buchholz
relay. On sensing these faults, which is the first stage of
transformer being under fire, a predetermined quantity of oil
from tank top is drained, which reduces the pressure in tank.
Simultaneously conservator oil is isolated through Pre-stressed
non return valve and nitrogen gas starts injecting at
predetermined flow and pressure from lower side of the
transformer tank to reduce temperature of top oil surface.
 2/2
A.2 Operation under extinction mode:
During transformer fire, Pre-stressed non return valve operates
and isolates the conservator oil to prevent further aggravation
and spreading of fire. Before rupture of tank, Pressure relief
valve and / or buchholz relay operates due to pressurization of
transformer tank. Due to fire on transformer, Fire detector will
operate. After receipt of these signals predetermined quantity of
oil will be drained. Simultaneously nitrogen gas starts injecting
at predetermined flow and pressure from lower side of the
transformer tank to reduce temperature of top oil below flash
point and extinguishes the fire.

B. Remote manual

In case system failed to operate in Auto mode due to non

availability any one signal, operator shall operate system
manually by breaking window glass and operating extinction
release switch.

C. Local Manual

In case system failed to operate in Auto mode / remote manual

mode due to non availability of either signal or failure of
power source, operator shall operate system manually from fire
extinguishing cubicle and extinguishes the fire.
