Is it a requirement for High Voltage Switchrooms and internal Substations to be equipped with Emergency Task/Emergency Escape Lighting or does this represent a fire hazard in this environment?
According to the IET Electrician's Guide to Emergency Lighting, 3rd Ed, p55:
"BS 5266-1 advises that emergency lighting should be provided for .... (e) Motor generator, control, plant and switch rooms. Battery-powered emergency lighting should be provided in all motor generator rooms, control rooms, plant rooms, switch rooms and adjacent to main control equipment associated with the provision of normal and emergency lighting to the premises."
