Business today relies on technology to achieve its goals, profitability and continuous improvement. The technology businesses use relies on consistent, dependable electricity to power devices such as: computers, phone systems, training equipment, metal detectors, HVAC systems, pumps, elevators, presses, assembly lines, heart monitors, lights, incubators, battery chargers, and virtually every other electro-mechanical device in use today. The difficulty comes when the electricity we depend on to keep all our devices functioning, stops. The stoppage can be due to natural or man-made disasters, a failure of the electric generation or distribution system, or something as simple as a blown circuit breaker or other failed electrical component. When the normal, dependable flow of electricity is interrupted, we very quickly realize how heavily dependent we are on that electricity. This course will give you the basics regarding what a standby power system consists of, how it should be monitored and maintained, and some recommendations for inspections and testing. This course is intended for building maintenance technicians, building managers, engineers and other building or management-related roles, or, anyone else with an interest in standby power systems.
