Secondary Supply – diverse cable route
This guidance covers the routing of secondary supply cables from a life safety generator to the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), and the final equipment with reference to:
BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, specifically Section 560: Safety Services
BS 8519:2020, with emphasis on Clause 7 (Cable Routing) and Clause 11 (Cable Selection)
The goal: clarify requirements for the diverse cable routing and maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions for systems that support life safety and fire-fighting applications, such as sprinkler pumps, fire-fighting lifts, and smoke control systems.
Electric Vehicle Charging Points
Active charging points are fully wired and connected, ready-to-use charging points.
A passive charging point, on the other hand, is the infrastructure without the final charging unit installed.
HVO Fuel
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a renewable, diesel-type fuel made from vegetable oils and fats instead of crude oil​.
