About the role
This interview covers the power chain that keeps telecoms equipment available when grid supply fails. The panel wants electrical fundamentals, a safe diagnostic sequence and evidence that you can maintain batteries, rectifiers and generators without losing accurate site records.
How to prepare
- Draw the power path from incoming supply through changeover, generator, rectifier, batteries and DC load.
- Revise safe isolation, test equipment checks and hazards around batteries and generators.
- Prepare a method for investigating low battery autonomy or repeated generator alarms.
- Review the readings and observations captured during preventive maintenance.
- Practise explaining how you would distinguish a load problem from a charging problem.
Common mistakes
- Approaching a live cabinet without describing isolation and testing controls.
- Replacing batteries before checking the charger, load and environment.
- Giving generator advice without considering the DC system it supports.
- Leaving measured values and defects out of the maintenance record.
