Standby power systems — generators, transfer switches, and the sequencing logic between them — are what actually carries a facility through a utility outage. This course covers standby power system fundamentals: automatic transfer switches, sequencing, and the maintenance that keeps them ready.
You'll leave able to explain the failure points most likely to prevent a successful transfer, before they're tested by a real outage.
What You'll Learn
- Understand how standby power systems sequence during a utility outage
- Explain automatic transfer switch operation and testing
- Apply maintenance practices that keep standby systems ready
- Recognize the failure points most likely to prevent a successful transfer
