In telecommunication, the term power failure transfer has the following meanings:
- The switching of primary utilities to their secondary backup whenever the primary source operates outside its design parameters. This is accomplished via a transfer switch.
- In telephony, a function which, when activated in the event of a commercial power failure or a low-voltage battery condition at a subscriber location, supplies power to predesignated subscriber equipment via the central office trunk.
