Substation fire-protection practices that generally have been accepted by the electric utility industry and existing fire-protection standards and guides that may aid in the design of components are identified. The purpose is to give design guidance to the substation engineer in the area of fire protection. The following are covered: control and relay buildings; transformers; separation and location of oil-filled equipment; cable installation; fire detection systems; fire extinguishing systems; substation components; indoor substations; and fire fighting

IEEE Guide for Substation Fire Protection
This guide's contents have been developed to address electric substation fire risk. The substation fire risk strategies in this document are based on industry standards and good practices. The details provided are incorporated from substation fires, research and testing, advancements in fire protection and environmental concerns.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
979-1994
IEEE Guide for Substation Fire Protection
Guidance is provided to substation engineers in determining the design, equipment, and practices deemed necessary for the fire protection of substations. A list of publications that can be used to acquire more detailed information for specific substations or substation components is presented.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
