1.0 FOREWORD

1.1 Over the years detailed investigations on several cases of fires on mainline & suburban services (during the last few years) have been carried out by the concerned CRSs, Railways and ROSO. In some cases, it quite often becomes difficult to pinpoint the exact causes due to extensive damage, and only general observations are available. It is equally important to investigate every case of even smoke emission, which can lead to fire.

1.2 Systematic analysis of the causes of the fires have highlighted the need for complete review of the coach furnishing materials, cable insulation, design of equipments, protection system, workmanship by coach builders and repair and maintenance practices followed by the car sheds and the POH workshops. Through several discussions held among the Railways, Production Units and ROSa, various measures have been identified. Most of the measures are already detailed in the Particular Specification of the DMU stock and other measures have been issued as instructions from time to time.

1.3 The purpose of this Code is to consolidate the various measures for prevention of fires at one place, so as to act as a ready reference to the designer, Coach Builders and repair and maintenance staff not to ignore these issues. The entire process of the mechanism of fire, its outbreak, prevention, fire extinguishing methods and method of evacuating passengers is complex. The complicated phenomenon of fire is not reproducible in model experiments regardless of how they are carried out. The preventive measures as detailed in the Code, therefore, are by no means exhaustive and the various provisions will need updating and amplification from time to time based on the actual experience.

1.4 This code should be followed in conjunction with the Indian Electricity Act, 2003 and it's associated Rules. All the Modification and Maintenance Instructions issued by ROSO from time to time w.r.t. prevention of fires should also be followed.

2.0 PROLOGUE

2.1 Fire especially in uncontrolled state is a source of very rapid destruction and this gets compounded when loss of human life is involved. Hence, taking all possible steps to prevent a fire from breaking out in coaches, and if it breaks out, to prevent it from spreading and causing further damage assumes great importance and is unavoidable, however expensive or intensive the steps required may be.

2.2 A train fire is greatly different from a fire in other places in the manner in which it breaks out, grows and spreads, and in the method of fighting it, as well as the damages it causes. The horrific speed with which a blaze can spread when some inflammable materials are used, has given rise to great concern. The following points summarise the characteristics of a train fire, which need special consideration when deciding upon counter measures: ­

1) A train consists of long narrow vehicles with limited exits coupled with each other.

2) High traveling speeds prevent quick escape and assist the rapid spread of fire.

3) Wide range of track conditions, including confined sections such as bridges, tunnels, ghats, etc., make it difficult for passengers to get off the vehicle easily in times of emergency.

4) Restriction in movement of passengers and fast spread of fire aggravates the situation.

5) A large number of passengers traveling on trains are attended to by a small team of train crew.

6) Even a delay of few initial seconds due to inadequacy of direct communication with the crew can be devastating.

7) Even smoke emission in a confined place may lead to panic.

2.3 Fires in coaches could be broadly classified under two causes viz.,

(i) Due to electrical origin. (ii) Engine fuel. (iii) Due to external causes.

2.3.1 Electrical origin of the fires could be due to short circuit, fuse failure, failure of the insulation due to deterioration, mechanical damage, local heating due to

Page 5: INDIAN RAILWAYS Irdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/CMI-K402-REV1.pdf · Doc. No. CMI-K402 (Rev.-1) -2.0 PROLOGUE 2.1 Fire especially in uncontrolled state is a source

Doc. No. CMI-K402 (Rev.-1) DatelMonth of issue: February' 2009 Ref: CGW 0001 (Rev.-3) Page 5 of25

loose / defective joints and loose connection, etc. The potential of causing a fire depends largely upon the efficiency of the protection system.

2.3.2 Fire due to engine fuel can be controlled if there is no leakage in the fuel distribution system, damaged fuel tank insulation and overheating.

2.3.3 The fires due to external causes are numerous and often do not occur, unless due to carelessness, lack of awareness of the consequences, and ignorance on the part of the passengers.

2.4. The problems of fires on coaching stock may be broadly tackled by ensuring the following aspects in design, manufacturing and maintenance: ­

2.4.1 Prevention:

Prevention is better than cure, therefore by use of suitable materials, protective devices, proper designs and layout, prevention of outbreak of fire should be aimed at. To prevent the fire from spreading, it is extremely important that: ­

(a) Furnishing materials shall be fire retardant, and as per the relevant specifications.

(b) Complete protective arrangement on the circuits and sub-circuits is made such that isolation of any protective arrangement in service is prohibited

(c) Prevention of hiding places in design for storing / carrying of probable sources of fire such as inflammable materials like kerosene, petrol, stove, etc. by the passengers. The electrical switchboard,· cable joints etc. should be easily accessible for maintenance and detection of fires.

(d) Provision of compartments and resistance to prevent the spread of fire.

2.4.2 Spread of fire:

In spite of the best possible preventive measures, the chances of fire cannot be ruled out. Therefore should a fire take place, the spread of fire and damage should be restricted. This calls for incorporation of special design fea~ures as well ~s use of suitable materials to reduce the combustibility of the coach furnishing and other materials such as cable insulation, switch cabinet etc.

4.2.6.2 Cable sealing and dividing boxes, conduit fittings and conduit stopper boxes shall be as per IS: 2148 - 1981.

4.2.6.3 The sizes of the cables shall be determined by taking into account the maximum safe conductor temperature. The layout and arrangement of cables and the max. continuous or intermittent circuit current should be under day-to­day operating conditions. The minimum size of the cables shall also be determined by considerations of mechanical strength and reliability in the operating environment.

4.2.6.4 The current carrying capacity of all the cables shall be such that they will safely withstand the rupturing current of the fuse or the breaker on the live side of the circuit of which they form a part.

4.2.6.5 The electrical cables should be laid appropriately in the coach preferably on the sidewalls of the coach or on the roof of the coach. The high potential wires should not be running across the engine. These shall be adequately protected, covered from leaking diesel oil, which could spill on these cables.

4.2.6.6 Wiring junctions/interfaces should be insulated and tightened properly so that these do not become sources of sparks.

4.2.6.7 Control cables should be replaced fully irrespective of the condition after every six years. Power cables should be replaced on condition basis. During POH power cables, which are exposed to oil should be critically examined and replaced if any symptoms of bulging, softening or perishing of insulation at the cable terminals are noticed.

The quality, workmanship and the layout of the wiring shall be of the highest standard so as to ensure long life of the wiring. All precautions shall be taken to prevent damage to the insulation in service. The wiring in the passenger portion of the coach shall be in metallic conduits.

4.2.8 Guideline for wiring

RDSO Code no. ELPS/CPlEMU/02 for Code of Practice for Electrical Wiring on 'Electric Multiple Units' issued in December 1993 or latest shall be strictly followed.

4.2.9 Anti - theft measures

Many cases of fire have taken place due to short circuit caused by miscreants while attempting theft of the equipment. Therefore, while finalizing the layout theft proneness of items should be kept in mind, and equipment should be so located that pilferage is made difficult. Based on service experience, anti-theft measures are being decided upon from time to time, which .should be implemented on the new builds as well as on the stocks in service.

4.3 ELECTRICAL - TRANSMISSION

The following points are applicable for all DMUs:

4.3.1 Traction Alternator I Traction Generator

4.3.1.1 In order to ensure immediate operation of earth fault relay in the event of sparking due to loose connection in the alternator I generator connection box, the traction alternator connection box should be of epoxy material with metallic cover. Out going power coil leads of the traction alternator should be properly insulated by the insulation tapes and varnish. The alternator power coil lead joints with the power cable lead which feed to rectifier should be properly tightened.

4.4.1.2 Crankcase Breather:

Crankcase breather pipe is an exit for oil fumes! gases. The pipe should be routed such a way that these fumes / gases are discharged safely, away from electrical machines, cables etc., in to a pan at the bottom of the engine. Alternatively, these fumes can be taken out from the bottom of the equipment and discharged directly in to atmosphere.

4.4.1.3 Fire Extinguisher:

Fire extinguishing equipment should be located in the engine room so that in case of fire, immediate corrective action can be taken.

4.4.1.4 Others:

4.4.1.4.1 During Manufacturing, processes such as welding, grinding etc producing sparks, care should be taken to avoid carrying out the same in vicinity of engine. The sparks in presence of fuel/oil could result in fire.

4.4.1.4.2 In case these operations cannot be avoided, adequate shielding / protection of engine should be adopted before carrying out such operation near the engine area.

4.4.1.4.3 Any Electrical system likely to produce spark should be kept away from the engine as far as possible or should be adequately shielded / protected.

4.4.1.5 Other measures:

~ No aluminum sheets or plates shall be used any where in the engine room as they are likely to melt fast.

~ Pipeline and joints should be laid out in such way to avoid joint near any electrical connection.

~ Engine pit and alternator pit shall be provided with proper drainage pipes to drain out any oil leakage in the engine room.

~ Spillage of oil should not be allowed on the floor ofengine room.

4.4.1.6 Storage:

In case it is required to store the equipment or the diesel engine for long periods, the fuel system as well as the lube oil system should be drained so that they do not become a potential fire hazard.

4.4.2 During maintenance of DMUs, following precautions / methods are suggested to be followed:

4.4.2.1 Fuel System:

The fuel system should be checked regularly for leakage, since fuel spilled on the floor can cause fire.

In case leakage is observed, adequate measures should be taken to stop the same and the spilled diesel should be cleaned immediately.

4.4.2.2 Lube oil & hydraulic oil systems:

Engine lubricating oil system and hydraulic oil system should be checked regularly for leakage, since oil spilled on the floor can cause fire. In case leakage is observed, adequate measures should be taken to stop the same and the spilled oil should be cleaned immediately.

4.4.2.3 Ventilation:

Care should be taken to ensure the proper functioning of Ventilation fan. Leaking diesel/engine oil in presence of elevated ambient temperatures produces inflammable fumes, which forms an explosive environment. The Vent system is also meant to expel out such fumes.

4.4.2.4 Other Maintenance Practices:

4.4.2.4.1 It is required to change the fuel filters and oil filters of the engine on regular basis (refer 0 & M Manual). During the replacement, adequate measures should be taken to ensure that diesel/engine oil does not spill on the floor.

4.4.2.4.2 The crankcase breather pipe is an exit for oil carrying fumes. In case this is discharging into a pan / tray in the equipment, the maintenance crew should empty this pan on regular basis to prevent spillage.

4.4.2.4.3 Vent system hydraulic motors are located on the roof above the main traction alternator. Periodic checks shall be carried out to ensure that joints are leak-free. Otherwise, any leaking oil from the hydraulic motor could fall on to the alternator and thereby become a fire potential.

5.0 PART - II

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES FOR PREVENTION OF FIRES ON THE DMU COACHES IN SERVICE

5.1 General

5.1.1 Part I of the Code lays down the guidelines for the new builds. If adequate care is taken at the building stages, chances of fire occurrence will be less, and the damage caused will be very much reduced and localized should a fire take place. However, in spite of the precautions taken at the coach building stage, constant vigilance is required by the maintenance staff to prevent occurrence of the fires.

5.2 Preventive Maintenance and Inspection

5.2.1 Carry out the maintenance of the equipment with care as per the schedules laid down. Malfunction of the equipment can lead to fires due to flashovers, earth faults, etc.

5.3 Maintenance of Protection System

(i) Ensure that the proper sizes and types of fuses are used for replacement. No short cut should be done such as providing temporary fuse wires. Check calibration of MCBs during POH. Use MCBs and fuses of only approved suppliers as laid down by RDSO.

(ii) Ensure that all the protective relays are in good working order and are properly calibrated. Do not by pass any protection on the running stock. All the relays should be calibrated as per the schedules laid down.

5.4 Batteries

5.4.1 Batteries constitute a fire or explosion risk when they are being given heavy charge. Heavy charging can be either due to malfunctioning of the charging equipment or carelessness when charging on the coach from the shop floor rectifier. It is, therefore, important to check that the ventilation provided in the battery box is not choked. The staff should be made aware of the dangers of overcharging and interfering when the battery is on charge.

5.5 Cleanliness of under frame

5.5.1 The exhaust from the compressors sometimes contains undesirable amount of oil mist which is blown on the under frame and bogie, and due to sparks from brake blocks, fires may take place. This area should be cleaned during schedule inspections as laid down.

Page 21: INDIAN RAILWAYS Irdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/CMI-K402-REV1.pdf · Doc. No. CMI-K402 (Rev.-1) -2.0 PROLOGUE 2.1 Fire especially in uncontrolled state is a source

Ref: CGW 0001 DatelMonth of issue: February' 2009 (Rev.-3) Page 21 of25

Doc. No. CMI-K402 (Rev.-1)

5.5.2 Fire can also be caused by brake block sparks due to contamination of bogies and under gear, 'especially near the gear case, suspension bearing and lubricating points. It is to be ensured that these points close to the wheels are kept clean.

5.6 Topping up of lubricating oil

5.6.1 Care should be taken to prevent spilling of oil at the time of topping, and that there is no overfilling. The spilt oil may be a potential source of fire due to sparks from the brake blocks etc.

5.6.2 Proper shape of funnel should be used for topping of oil to prevent spilling of oil. Use of such funnels at outstation depots tends to be neglected and should watch carefully.

5.6.3 Drains and overflows should be kept clean so that these are not choked and therefore ineffective.

5.7 Leakage in oil piping

5.7.1 Ensure that leakage in oil plpmg is attended to at the earliest possible opportunity as the oil leakage will contaminate the surroundings and increase the risk of fire.

5.8 Brake Binding

5.8.1 Panic has been noticed among the passengers due to smoke emission due to brake binding especially with composition brake blocks. Ensure that the brake system is maintained to the highest standard possible to minimise brake­binding cases.

5.9 Control Equipment Cubicles

5.9.1 The fires in control equipment cubicles are a problem and usually lead to considerable damage. A particular difficulty is the detection of fire and, therefore, the fire is likely to get a good hold before it is noticed. Ensure that improper maintenance of the equipment inside the cubicles is done and carefully looked for developing faults.

5.10 Tightness of Connections

5.10.1 A loose connection is a potential source of fire as not protected by any protective device. Proper tightness of all the connections is, therefore, to be ensured and this point is to be given particular attention during inspections. Awareness campaigns should be lodged for the workman with prominent display.

5.11 Repairs to Wiring

5.11.1 Use only approved quality of cables for repairs. Use proper size of cable. Undersized cables and unapproved type of cables should not be used even as a temporary expedient. Cable jointing should be prohibited and this instructions should be displayed prominently at the work place.

5.11.2 Proper care should be taken while laying down the new cables so that no damage to the insulation is caused. Repairs should be carefully carried out to that no damage is caused to other cables.

5.12 Cleanliness of Equipment

5.12.1 Cleanliness is next to Godliness is nowhere more truely than for electrical equipment. Insulation failures can result from surface flashovers due to presence of dirt, dust and moisture. It is, therefore, essential that proper cleaning of terminal connections, bus bars, insulators and equipments is done during schedules as laid down to remove oil and dust particles.

5.12.2 Thorough cleaning of oil and oil socked dust should be done from the equipment compartments and cables.

5.13 Insulation resistance test of wiring & equipments

5.13.1 In order to monitor healthy condition of insulation of wmng and equipments, insulation resistance should be measured periodically in sheds and during POH in shops and records kept coach-wise and equipment­wise.

5.14 Electro-Pneumatic & Electromagnetic Contactors

5.14.1 These contactors create on arc during normal operation. This arc is quenched by combined effect of arcing horns and arc chutes. A badly arced arcing hom or arc chute and grime covered arc chute is incapable of quenching the arc quickly inside a highly ionized and confined space. Therefore, ensure that arcing horns and arc chutes arc properly maintained. Arc chutes should be properly fitted and may fall if not properly secured.

5.15 Repairs of interior furnishings

5.15.1 While carrying out the repairs to the interior furnishings ensure that only the approved qualities of the furnishing materials are used. Unapproved materials should not be used even as a temporary arrangement as this would become a practice over the course of time. Sufficient stock of the approved furnishing and paneling materials as detailed in Part I should be kept in the sheds and shops, depending upon the requirements so that there is no temptation to the maintenance staff to use other non-standard materials.

Doc. No. CMI-K402 (Rev.-l)

5.16 Fire fighting system

5.16.1 Ensure that portable fire extinguishers are in working order and are available at the nominated places before the rake is given for service. Sufficient number of spares should be kept in stock to ensure prompt replacement of defective/missing extinguishers. Regular checks should be carried out for operation for extinguishers.

5.16.2 Efficient use of fire fighting appliances necessitates adequate training to be given to the running and other staff that should be familiar with fire fighting techniques and operations and handling of the extinguishers especially in vicinity of the apparatus, which are alive. Following staff should generally be adequately trained. The training programme may be decided by each Railway.

(a) Motorman, Guards, (b) All Supervisors and skilled artisans of DMU Car Sheds and

outstation depots.

5.16.3 They should be trained to be familiar with physical location of fire fighting equipment, correct method of operating the equipments and precautions to be observed, location of the Municipal fire bridges and how to summon them.

5.17 Technical Investigation of Fires

5.17.1 The possible causes offires and preventative steps listed in Part I & Part II are by no means exhaustive. Based on the actual experience, the list will need to be amplified and updated.

5.17.2 Timely investigation of causes of fires is very essential. Every case of fires, even smoke emission, minor or major, irrespective of location, in power, control or auxiliary circuit, should be investigated very carefully, even though a formal enquiry in accordance with accident rules may not be called for. The causes as established by investigation should be analyzed to identify areas requiring design/layout/material modifications and tightening up of preventive maintenance and supervision. To build up the history of fires as a guide for the new builds, it is necessary that proper records of fire accidents be maintained. This should be done in every shed as per Annexure- II.
