Miscellaneous Correction

A redundant power supply for the fire pump may be needed. Confirm with Evergy on the reliability of the power supply for the area (see exception #2). NFPA 20- Section 9.3.2 * Other Sources. Except for an arrangement described in 9.3.3, at least one alternate source of power shall be provided where the normal source is not reliable.A reliable power source possesses the following characteristics: (1) The source power plant has not experienced any shutdowns longer than 10 continuous hours in the year prior to plan submittal. NFPA 25 requires special undertakings (i.e., fire watches) when a water-based fire protection system is taken out of service for longer than 10 hours. If the normal source power plant has been intentionally shut down for longer than 10 hours in the past, it is reasonable to require a backup source of power. (2) Power outages have not routinely been experienced in the area of the protected facility caused by failures in generation or transmission. This standard is not intended to require that the normal source of power be infallible to deem the power reliable. NFPA 20 does not intend to require a backup source of power for every installation using an electric motor–driven fire pump. Note that should the normal source of power fail in a rare event, the impairment procedures of NFPA 25 could be followed to mitigate the fire risk. If a fire does occur during the power loss, the fire protection system could be supplied through the fire department connection. (3) The normal source of power is not supplied by overhead conductors outside the protected facility. Fire departments responding to an incident at the protected facility will not operate aerial apparatus near live overhead power lines, without exception. A backup source of power is required in case this scenario occurs and the normal source of power must be shut off. Additionally, many utility providers will remove power to the protected facility by physically cutting the overhead conductors. If the normal source of power is provided by overhead conductors, which will not be identified, the utility provider could mistakenly cut the overhead conductor supplying the fire pump. (4) Only the disconnect switches and overcurrent protection devices permitted by 9.2.3 are installed in the normal source of power. Power disconnection and activated overcurrent protection should occur only in the fire pump controller. The provisions of 9.2.2 for the disconnect switch and overcurrent protection essentially require disconnection and overcurrent protection to occur in the fire pump controller. If unanticipated disconnect switches or overcurrent protection devices are installed in the normal source of power that do not meet the requirements of 9.2.2, the normal source of power must be considered not reliable and a backup source of power is necessary. 9/26/2023- Circuit reliability information provided in applicant response dated 9/25/2023. THe power source to the facility is considered reliable and a redundant power source is not warranted.

Miscellaneous Correction

A redundant power supply for the fire pump may be needed. Confirm with Evergy on the reliability of the power supply for the area (see exception #2). NFPA 20- Section 9.3.2 * Other Sources. Except for an arrangement described in 9.3.3, at least one alternate source of power shall be provided where the normal source is not reliable. A reliable power source possesses the following characteristics: (1) The source power plant has not experienced any shutdowns longer than 10 continuous hours in the year prior to plan submittal. NFPA 25 requires special undertakings (i.e., fire watches) when a water-based fire protection system is taken out of service for longer than 10 hours. If the normal source power plant has been intentionally shut down for longer than 10 hours in the past, it is reasonable to require a backup source of power. (2) Power outages have not routinely been experienced in the area of the protected facility caused by failures in generation or transmission. This standard is not intended to require that the normal source of power be infallible to deem the power reliable. NFPA 20 does not intend to require a backup source of power for every installation using an electric motor–driven fire pump. Note that should the normal source of power fail in a rare event, the impairment procedures of NFPA 25 could be followed to mitigate the fire risk. If a fire does occur during the power loss, the fire protection system could be supplied through the fire department connection. (3) The normal source of power is not supplied by overhead conductors outside the protected facility. Fire departments responding to an incident at the protected facility will not operate aerial apparatus near live overhead power lines, without exception. A backup source of power is required in case this scenario occurs and the normal source of power must be shut off. Additionally, many utility providers will remove power to the protected facility by physically cutting the overhead conductors. If the normal source of power is provided by overhead conductors, which will not be identified, the utility provider could mistakenly cut the overhead conductor supplying the fire pump. (4) Only the disconnect switches and overcurrent protection devices permitted by 9.2.3 are installed in the normal source of power. Power disconnection and activated overcurrent protection should occur only in the fire pump controller. The provisions of 9.2.2 for the disconnect switch and overcurrent protection essentially require disconnection and overcurrent protection to occur in the fire pump controller. If unanticipated disconnect switches or overcurrent protection devices are installed in the normal source of power that do not meet the requirements of 9.2.2, the normal source of power must be considered not reliable and a backup source of power is necessary.
