Help Mitigate Risks of Fire and Explosion in Electric Generating Plants by Complying with the Latest Safety Requirements.

There are special concerns for fire and life protection in plants and facilities that produce or convert the current of electricity. NFPA 850, Standard for Fire Protection for Electric Generating Plants and High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Converter Stations, is an essential resource for assisting in maximizing the safety of personnel, facilities, and the community at large. Requirements apply to new and existing oil, gas, coal, and alternative fuel electrical generating plants, including high-voltage direct current converter stations and combustion turbine units used for electric generation.

Get the knowledge to help identify and reduce risks to lives and property in plants generating electricity.

NFPA 850 provides the framework for creating a Fire Protection Design Basis Document that takes into account potential risks to the particular facility, including flammable liquids, fuels, lubricating oils, dust explosions, and electrical equipment. A must-have for facility managers, designers, installers, inspectors, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), the standard covers the protection and continuity of installations and personnel, systems and components, and plant operations to help ensure safety and productivity.
