Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fire safety technology, and in particular relates to a method and system for obtaining the voltage of the nozzle when a fire hose is used to extinguish fires on live equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Water is the most commonly used extinguishing agent in fire rescue. Because water conducts electricity, electrical equipment must generally be disconnected when using water to extinguish fires involving live electrical equipment to prevent injury to personnel. However, in special circumstances, it may be impossible to disconnect the power supply. During firefighting while the equipment is energized, an electrical circuit can be formed between the firefighters, the water, the energized equipment, and the ground. A current of 1mA in this circuit can cause an electric shock sensation, 5mA can cause pain, 10mA can cause unbearable pain, 20mA can cause incapacitation, and 100mA can be fatal. Currently, the following methods are used to prevent electric shock to firefighters during firefighting in energized environments: adjusting the water flow rate and discharging residual current. Adjusting the water flow rate increases the spray pressure and reduces the gaps between molecules, making it easier for electrons to pass through water molecules, resulting in a decrease in electrical resistance. Discharging residual current typically involves connecting the metal part of the nozzle to the ground, allowing the residual current to flow to the earth. The current conduction method severely limits the effectiveness of water spraying for fire extinguishing. While adjusting the water flow rate can effectively adjust the resistance, there is currently only a qualitative description and it is impossible to calculate the water nozzle voltage based on parameters such as water flow rate. This cannot meet the need to adjust the water flow rate accordingly when continuously adjusting the fire extinguishing distance during live fire extinguishing. Summary of the Invention
