I need to teach an operations group (Systems, Network, Security, IT

some basics of power as it applies to the team. Normal things they

I have an idea of many things to talk about, particularly as they
apply to
our environment, but I was hoping there might be some publicly
available
slides or docs that I could take advantage of.
I'll be happy to share anything we come up with- though this may
just be me
in front of a whiteboard.
Here are some of the questions I plan to cover:
What are amps, volts and watts?
What are Volt-Amps, and why do they matter?
How much can I load that circuit?
How does a breaker work?
Where are the breakers at our sites?
What should you do if a breaker trips?
How do we know how much load a device will place on a circuit?
How do we monitor power usage?
Basic safety.
Redundant power.
Thanks for any pointers!
