Am I missing something? Why is it false when it should be true for the first if statement
Right now, this is running (F and F or T and T). The first False, plus AND, makes the whole statement evaluate as FALSE
Sounds like you want to add some parentheses, so that it evaluates like this: ((F and F) or (T and T))

I'm not a boolean logic expert, but I think this is effectively an Order of Operations problem. Parenthesis might help.

You can simplify this a lot as well by adding nesting IF blocks. You are testing each status up to four times, when you can do it only once for each variable. For example,
IF( Power Status L1 open THEN
IF( Power Status L2 open
Set Power Status to 'Off'
ELSE
Set Power Status to 'Degraded'
END-IF
ELSE
IF( Power Status L2 open
Set Power Status to 'Degraded'
ELSE
Set Power Status to 'On'
END-IF
END-IF
