BS 6853 fire test to Electrical Device - Design
> Electrical protection
Creepage and clearance distances should be set with due regard for the propensity of the materials to track and with due regard for the voltage used and whether it is a.c. or d.c., so as to minimize the occurrence of electrical faults. Suitable electrical protection should be provided to ensure that the energy release rate on occurrence of a fault and the duration of the fault is minimized. This guidance applies to electrical power both as an ignition source and as a power output hazard when in the form of a power arc.
> Protection against power arcs
Suitable arc resisting barriers should be used to protect the passenger compartments with particular consideration being given to areas where faults are electrically unprotected other than by substation circuit breakers.
> Protection against high current circuit breaker output
Suitable shields should be provided to prevent any effluent from the train-borne circuit breaker acting as an ignition source for materials or debris and also to prevent the degradation of other systems such as cables which would increase the risk of ignition should they fail.
> Protection against sparks from current collectors
Suitable shields should be provided to prevent incandescent particles from current Collectors from acting as an ignition source for underbody materials and debris.
