Attached Document Summary
 
This guide provides you with the basic requirements for a telecommunications power plant. This guide contains a general description of the power plant and the DC distribution system — their operation and installation — with special emphasis on primary DC distribution. What this guide doesn’t do is specify a standard for engineering design and installation, but it does recommend and promote best practice methods used throughout the industry for primary DC distribution.
