Aurora On-prem provides emergency power supply testing in order to facilitate reports for regulatory compliance, operational test information, and for system troubleshooting.
For monthly load tests, the generator(s) supporting operations are typically expected to demonstrate that they are able to hold a 30 percent load for 30 minutes. In the case of health care facilities, ATS tests also ensure that power is provided for those portions of the building dedicated to critical life safety.
