WIRING REQUIREMENTS FOR NFPA 130 (SUBWAY TUNNELS AND STATIONS) AND NFPA 502 (ROAD TUNNELS)
Agenda
Review NFPA 130 (Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems) Review NFPA 502 (Standard for Road Tunnels, Bridges, and Other Limited Access Highways) Where do we go from here
130
NFPA 130 Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail
NFPA 130
1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this standard shall be to establish minimum requirements that will provide a reasonable degree of safety from fire and its related hazards in fixed guideway transit and passenger rail system environments.
4.2 Goal. 4.2.1 The goal of this standard shall be to provide an environment for occupants of fixed guideway and passenger rail system elements that is safe from fire and similar emergencies to a practical extent based on the following measures: (1) Protect occupants not intimate with the initial fire development (2) Maximize the survivability of occupants intimate with the initial fire development

this standard.
12.2.1.1 All cables and conductors shall be of the moisture resistant and heat-resistant types with temperature ratings that correspond to the conditions of application. 12.2.1.2 All cables and conductors shall be listed for use in wet locations.
Tunnel Wiring
NFPA 130 & 502 require cable To be listed for wet location. Is the typical UL 12 week test enough? Be resistant to the spread of fire and shall have reduced smoke emissions - IEEE/1202 and UL 1685 or NFPA 262 502 requires minimal acid gases
Tunnel Wiring
NFPA 130 & 502 cable requirements: Circuits must survive a fire. NFPA 130 1 hour per UL 2196 @ 1700 F NFPA 502 - 2 hour per UL 2196 @ 1850 F Is this the right test for this type of fire?
Long term water testing for low voltage cable? Acid gas testing is this the right test for conductive gas? Fire test standard that matches the fire conditions for tunnel fires?
