Hi, need to submit a 250 words paper on the topic Fire Protection Systems. Fire Protection Systems FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS ASSESSMENT OF THE LOCATIONS AND ELEVATIONS OF THE TRANSFORMER WATER SPRAY LOOPS The fire protection system (FPS) is technically designed to detect fires, minimize hazards to personnel, protect a plant against fire damage and reduce property loss because of fire. Systems, structures and components relevant to safety are designed as well as establish in such a way that it can minimize the fire hazard according to the recommended and adopted safety requirements. The identified areas which are protected through a manual fire protection are ideally accessible with respect to smoke, toxic combustion products, heat, and also with radiation.

A transformer is a device commonly used by industries to convert high voltage into low

voltage. During operational rounds, hired technicians of companies check the ammeters for current flow to the electrical systems. So that voltage be monitored in an electrical system, voltmeters and other electrical devices are used and are also checked in a given routine rounds.

Elevation is a location or an area of the process equipment in relation to existing ground level and structures. This provide technicians with sufficient information about the equipment location. The data is important for them as they make rounds, catch samples, check the equipment, develop checklists and also when they perform startups and shutdowns. Moreover, equipment location drawings or plot plans points out the exact location of equipment with respect to the plant’s physical boundaries. It also provide information regarding neighborhood. Included in location drawings is a loop diagram which traces all instrument linkages between the control room panel and the field instrument. Instrument such as air lines, some wiring connections at particular field junction boxes as well as front and connections control room panels are also included. P 261.
