Abstract:

In order to explore the impact mechanism of flowing fire on the fire resistance of different types of cable trench cover plates in the actual fire scene, and improve the fire prevention and control ability of substations, a series of fire resistance tests of cable trench cover plates under flowing fire and standard test furnace tests were carried out. The research shows that two kinds of polymer composite cover plates fail in a short time in the standard test furnace, while two kinds of concrete cover plates do not fail after 2 hours. In the non-standard test under simulated flowing fire, the temperature rise rate of the back fire surface of the grooved cover plate is the fastest, while that of the concrete cover plate plastered with mortar is the lowest. When the oil supply speed is 72.5 g/s, the effective fire resistance time of the slotted cover plate is about 130 s, and that of the polymer cover plate with fireproof cloth is 40 min. The effective fire resistance time of the two kinds of concrete covers is more than 2 h. The temperature rise on the back fire surface of the concrete cover plate with fireproof cloth increases with the increase of oil supply rate, but the increase rate is small. The two kinds of concrete cover plates with mortar plastering and fireproof cloth have the best fire resistance, while the two kinds of polymer composite cover plates with grooved and fireproof cloth have poor fire resistance. According to the test results, the concrete cover plate is recommended for the cable trench cover near the transformer and other oil filled equipment in the substation.
