Ordering
Lucent offers a wide variety of engineering services that range
from complete telecommunications installations to custom
modifications of in-place equipment. For more information on

This section of the manual is intended to provide guidance for
those customers who wish to engineer their battery plant
completely or partially. The detailed process of engineering a
battery plant is described as it progresses through four stages.
This process is essentially the same for the field modification of
an existing battery plant as it is for a new installation.
The four stages are:
1. characterizing the basic power requirements,
2. determining the power equipment that satisfies those
needs,
3. determining the impact on the various building systems,
and
4. preparing the order using the engineering drawings.

The using system, also referred to as the LOAD EQUIPMENT,
determines many characteristics of the power equipment.
Service and maintenance strategies also affect the selection of
power equipment. This section describes, through the following
topics, the types of basic power specifications and how they may
be determined.
