Abstract

A load management system provides an interface between a power input and several switched power outputs and un-switched power outputs. A controller groups the switched power outputs into one or more load groups based on a switched current limit determined for the system and the measured currents of the electrical loads. The load groups are defined so that the sum of electrical load currents in each load group does not exceed the switched current limit. The controller also activates one or more switches to apply electrical power to the load groups according to a power sequence. A method for distributing electrical power to electrical loads using load groups is also provided.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 360,277, filed June 30, 2010, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 383,224, filed September 15, 2010, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference The entire content of is incorporated herein. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to management of electrical loads, and more particularly to load management of electrical devices requiring more power than can be obtained from a utility power source. Background technique [0004] There are many examples where multiple electrical loads are connected to and powered by a single common power supply. The common power supply can be designed to provide sufficient power to all electrical loads to ensure that each load is adequately powered. [0005] In some cases, however, it may be desirable to power some electrical loads from a power source that supplies...
