EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ELECTRIFICATION OF HI-RISE BUILDING
An important consideration in the layout of electrical in any building or
installation is safety, besides the consideration for efficiency, convenience and
provision for future increase in load.
The fundamental requirement to achieve safety from the electrical equipment
Page 8 of 55
Date of Visit :
MUMBAI
Page 9 of 55
and associated cabling and wiring is to control the occurrence of short circuit or
fault currents in the system which results in flash-overs, burning of cable
insulation, and insulating materials of the component.
It is understood that in the electrification of HI-Rise Bldg. there would be
complexity of equipment and network of cables of various sizes right upto a
lowest size 1.5 sq.mm concealed behind the laminated walls and false ceiling
which are always prone to fire. What is therefore required is to prevent the
occurrence of any short-circuit in the system and if it does occur the same is
cleared from the circuit or system, by the protection like fuses & relays before
the wiring cables and other equipment attain a temperature which ignites the
cable insulation and other materials. For example a 1.5 sq.mm PVC insulated
copper cable can withstand only about 100 Amp. For 1 sec. before the
insulation starts melting and catches fire. The protection in the circuit,
therefore, has to be provided thr HRC fuses so that it disconnects the circuit
in less time say 100 to 200 msec .i.e. before the cable insulation melts &
catches fire.
To prevent the hazards of fire from the faults in electrical equipments it is,
therefore, imperative
a). Every equipment used should be able to withstand the fault current of the
system; and where it is not so due to non-availability of the particular
rated equipment it must be protected thr HRC fuses, so that it cuts off the
circuit in the shortest possible time.
Page 9 of 55
Date of Visit :
MUMBAI
Page 10 of 55
Use of rewire able fuses in the HI-Rise Building should be totally avoided.
Only proper rated MCCB & HRC fuses to be used for the protection of
cables & equipment.
b). The loose connections to be totally avoided. All the cable terminations to be
done with proper size and type of tinned copper lugs and hardwares like
bolts, nuts, washers etc.
c). The connections to be periodically checked for tightness for which it is
imperative that enclosure used are of such size that when they are opened,
the terminals are readily accessible. Furthermore sufficient space shall be
left in the interior of the enclosure for the accommodation of external
conductor from the point of entry into the enclosures upto the
terminals(IS:4237-1967)
d). The enclosures should always be kept free from the ingress of dust, cobwebs
etc. since it leads to tracking & subsequent flash-overs. It is necessary that
after the cabling is done, all the unused holes & openings are plugged &
sealed. The equipments which are mounted outdoor shall conform to
degree of protection IP-55 and as far as possible the junction boxes
installed outdoor shall be made of aluminum or any non-corrosive
material.
e).
The equipment used should be of proven quality & make. In the vulnerable
Page 10 of 55
Date of Visit :

Page 11 of 55
areas, cables with elastomeric insulation i.e. EPR, silicon, CSP etc. to be
used. Such type of cables are used in railways coaches, ships etc. and do
not catch or propagate fire(Reference IOC Engg. Manual Vol-7 Part II
Chapter No.14).
f). Earthing System & Practices:A sound earthing system eliminates more than half of the unsafe
conditions and prevents unwanted fires. For the discharge of fault
currents, static electricity and for the operation of protective relays and
fuses, there is no short cut than to have an exacting, robust and proper
earthing system.
An Electrical Audit is a Safety Concept. It identifies the erroneous zones
(in the entire electrical installation, i.e. equipment & the system) which
may have crept into the system inadvertently during selection, erection or
subsequent to energizing/commissioning. Recommendations are made
after analyzing the deficiencies and update the electrical in its entirety.
An attempt has been made in this audit to study in detail the deficiencies
in the system, equipment, cable terminations, earthing system etc.
Recommendation to eliminate & eradicate the deficiencies are also given
which when implemented shall achieve the objective of eliminating flashovers and fire hazards from the electrical system.

The earthing system of the plant was found good. The earth pits of plant
randomly checked & following observations noteda. Construction of the earth pit in sub- station area & pump house area was
found in good condition. No rusting was observed, Earth Pit Resistance was
checked on random basis & pit resistance was found in the range of 0.5 to 1.5
Ohm. The measured value of the pit resistance were found within the
acceptable range.
b.
In most of the pits C type clamps used in the pits & the connection were
found ok.
12.1
EARTHING RECOMMENDATIONS & PRACTICES:Recommended practices for an earthing system to attain acceptable level
of safety:a. To provide a very low resistance path to ground for the discharge of
fault current, lightning current and statics charges.
b. Mechanical strength and corrosions resistance to various
environmental conditions so that the system remains intact
throughout the working life of the plant.
c. Loose contacts to be totally avoided so that there are hot spots
developed during the passage of fault current or lightning current
which can be 200KA or more.
d. Minimum Spacing between two electrodes shall be 10 meters or twice
the length of the electrode.

e. Earth grid shall be 1.5 meter away from the building column and to be
buried at a depth of 600 mm.
f. Interconnection of GI Strips in the earth grid should be done by welding
instead of bolting, and the welded portion should be painted with zincrich paint (Epilux-4) or black bitumen paint to avoid rusting.
g. The connection of the grid strips with the earth electrodes shall be
made in such a way through C type clamps grouted on the side walls
of the earth pit, that it shall be possible to isolate the earth electrode
and measure its earth resistance.
h. All the earthing pits shall be interconnected so as to obtain a minimum
earth resistance of 1 ohm.
i. Equipment earthing should always be crimped in suitable lugs if done
with stranded Aluminum or GI wire ropes. Usage of solid conductor to
be avoided, as it gives rise to loose connection with crimped socket.
j. All earth connections to be checked for tightness. Loose connections or
bolted joints lead to hot spot & sparking which can become a source or
fire/explosion in the hazardous areas.
k. Rusted connections to be rectified by applying zinc-rich or black
bitumen paints.
l. All lighting fixtures made of metal should be earthed. It is necessary
that lighting fixtures installed in the plant areas shall be earthed
externally. External earthing to be done by using a 2.5 sq. mm.
stranded copper wire or 6 sq.mm. GI stranded wire.
m. The neighboring soil to the earth electrode shall be kept moist by
pouring water in the immediate vicinity of the earth electrode.
