6.4.3.3 Electrical Design
6.4.3.3.1 Pump Stations
Electrical service will need to be furnished to the new pump stations.
Commercial power is the primary source of power with diesel generators
providing backup power as applicable.
The electrical service shall include power distribution, power for the pumps and
auxiliary systems, equipment monitoring systems, communications systems and
general facilities electrical, such as exterior and interior lighting, receptacles,
grounding systems, and water level and other fluids monitoring systems. The
electrical systems shall be located in an appropriate enclosure protected from the
elements. Coordination with the local power company for the sources of power,
new power line routings to the pump stations and any associated costs for
building the new power lines shall be conducted as warranted by the design. A
480-volt, three phase, electrical service shall be provided by the local utility
company. 480-volt, three phase engine-generator units shall be provided to
supply backup electrical power for pumping station operations. Transient
Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) shall be provided at the service entrance.
6.4.3.3.2 Gated Culverts
A single line diagram is shown on Plate E-6. As a minimum, each structure’s
electrical system shall contain the following:
The electrical service shall include power distribution, power for the main and
auxiliary systems, equipment monitoring systems, communications systems and
general facilities electrical, such as exterior and interior lighting, receptacles,
grounding systems, and water level and other fluids monitoring systems. The
electrical systems shall be located in an appropriate enclosure protected from the
elements. A 120/240 volt single phase or 208Y/120 volt, three phase, electrical
service shall be provided by the local utility company. A 120/240 volt single
phase or 208Y/120 volt, three phase engine-generator units shall be provided to
supply necessary electrical power for gate operations. TVSS shall be provided at
the service entrance.
6.4.3.3.3 Off-Site SCADA (OS-SCADA)
The OS-SCADA system shall control main and auxiliary equipment, as well as
monitor level sensing devices at each facility. The station equipment, controls,
and sensing devices at the facility shall provide status and receive control
signals from the OS-SCADA system. The remote automation components
installed at the pump station and other structures are the remote terminal unit
(RTU) (shown on Plate E-7) and communication channel to the SFWMD control
