Protection aim 3: Maintain electrical functions
The division of building into fire sections protects unaffected building sections against the spread of fires for specific periods of time. Insulation maintains the fire sections, thus limiting the spread of fire and smoke. These constructive measures protect people and property, allowing fire brigades to prevent the spread of fires to other parts of the building through extinguishing measures.
Function maintenance for electrical systems
If there is a fire, emergency and escape routes must remain usable and important technical equipment, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm systems and smoke extraction systems, continue to function. Therefore, it is essential that the power supply for these systems is specially protected. In addition, certain technical systems must support the fire brigades in fighting fires for a sufficiently long period of time. Where is function maintenance required?
This could be because these structures are regularly frequented by many people. This creates an increased safety risk for gatherings of people. However, with certain systems, property and the environment must also be protected.
