This intensive, three-day course covers concepts, design, application, maintenance and operation of DC power systems/components, and includes classroom instruction and hands-on training.

Developed specifically for Argus customers, the course is intended to complement the basic electrical knowledge of Telecommunications technicians/engineers with specialized training in modern DC power systems and components. The focus for the classes will be on the Argus Cordex series of power system controllers and rectifiers;however,legacy products (Pathfinder,SM,RST,RSM) will be covered.Many of the engineering, installation and maintenance practices are applicable to all types of power systems.

Students will receive certificates upon successful completion of the course.
