Is it feasible to locate the plant’s substation and instrument cabinet room in the same building, separated by a fire wall?

According to the standards, it is generally allowed to locate the plant’s power distribution room and instrument cabinet room in the same building, but the following requirements must be met: 1. Clear fire separation zones: Strict separation using firewalls is required, so that the power distribution room and the cabinet room are in separate fire separation zones. 2. Fire resistance requirements: The transformer and distribution rooms in the factory area should generally have a fire resistance rating of at least grade 2. The two areas must be separated by firewalls that meet the relevant standards, as well as fire doors and fire sealing materials whose fire resistance characteristics satisfy the specified requirements. 3. Separate entrance and exit: The power distribution room should have a separate entrance and exit; it should not be accessible through cabinet rooms or other functional areas. 4. Clear functional division: It is necessary to clearly define the respective functions of the cabinet room and the power transformation and distribution room, to avoid any overlap or confusion. 5. Adequate ventilation and fire protection facilities: Appropriate fire alarm systems, firefighting equipment, and ventilation systems are provided to meet safety standard requirements. As long as the above measures are implemented in accordance with standards, it is permitted by the regulations for the plant’s substation and instrument cabinet rooms to be located in the same building and separated by a firewall. It is recommended to further verify the relevant **, specific industry regulations, and the opinions of local construction authorities. .
