Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

What is the purpose of ATS transfer testing?
  • Ensuring Proper Functionality
    • ATS transfer testing verifies that the ATS can reliably switch power from the primary source (e.g., utility) to the emergency source (e.g., generator) and back, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous power supply.
  • Identifying potential issues
    • Testing helps detect any malfunctions or problems with the ATS mechanism, control system, or connections before they cause a critical failure during a real power outage.
  • Meeting regulatory requirements
    • Testing is mandated to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations in accordance with NFPA.
