Introduction:
 
POWER "L" provides instruction on all power systems employed in telecommunications facilities. This course provides insights into the safety and operation of these facilities.

Subjects included throughout the course stress the safety requirements in connection with operation of telecommunications power systems. Students will gain an understanding of AC and DC power systems operation during normal conditions when commercial power is available and during emergency conditions while commercial power is unavailable.

It is paramount to recognize the importance of maintaining service continuity of the telecommunications equipment in a telecommunications facility, but also to realize that all equipment installations can impact the power system. Recognition that improper installation or removal activity can lead to service degradation or service interruptions will ensure that the installation and removal activity is performed in a safe and reliable manner.

Throughout the course knowledge assessments are used to reinforce the topics discussed. At the completion of the course you will be tested to document your knowledge. Successful completion of this test will earn TPI Trainers Certification.

A complete course manual will be provided. This manual will be a valuable reference as you return to your job.
