SAWS Electrical Specifications
San Antonio Water System (SAWS) requires the assistance of consultant
electrical engineering companies to provide a complete design
of the electrical system in newly constructed primary pumping
stations and additions.
It is the responsibility of the consultant to know and understand
the theory of pump station operation, preferred equipment and
associated applications, and the latest technology of electrical
equipment. The consultant shall be responsible for any electrical
applications associated with: incoming 5kV services, 5kV switchgear,
5kV motor controllers, transformers, low voltage panels and wiring,
capacitor application, SCADA, cathodic protection, and protective
devices. Previous pump station applications should be considered
when designing the electrical for a new station.
SAWS has adopted a standard production operating philosophies
and the electrical controls of the pumping equipment incorporate
these philosophies. SAWS has also developed preferences of equipment
supplied, such as the Rosemount pressure switch or the Panametrics
Flow Meter. Included in this Design Standard Handbook is the theory
of operation, preferred equipment, typical drawings, and overall
needs required by SAWS to design a complete primary pumping station.
