Questions regarding adjacency in GB50016
Thread Content
Section 3.3.8 of GB50016 stipulates: \"Substations and distribution stations shall not be located within or adjacent to Class A or Class B factories, nor shall they be placed in areas prone to explosive gases or dusts.\" Substations of 110 KV and below dedicated to Class A and Class B factories, when separated by firewalls at doors, windows, and openings. They can be installed side by side, and must comply with the provisions of current standards such as the **Code for Design of Electrical Installations in Explosive Atmospheres**. ” I would like to ask my colleagues: when it is said that the dedicated substation is adjacent here, does it mean that the substation shares a wall with the Class A factory building, or is there a certain distance between the two walls? If there is a distance, is this distance determined in accordance with fire safety requirements?
I checked the standards myself; by \"adjacent\" it is meant that the buildings share a wall. If there is a certain distance between them, it will create conflicts with the fire separation requirements between those two buildings
