Abstract Fire losses due to cable fire in thermal power plants and industrial units are mounting. Fire in cable galleries is caused either by an external source or internal heating due to overloading or poor cable insulation. Most of the power cables are laid in groups that run on trays. In the event of fire, cable insulation melts and cable conductors come into contact and generate sparks. The resulting flame spreads through cables and engulf other groups of cables. This leads to damage in control rooms and distribution units that causes power generation disruption and plant shutdown. To minimize the damage and system disturbance due to fire, a new system for cable installation has been developed. The system involves construction of fire stop walls using fire-resistant cavity blocks, heat-resistant wool, and fire-resistant sealant.
