What Does a Load Management System Do?
A load management system monitors electrical demand and manages selected loads when necessary. Its purpose is to help control the amount of electricity being consumed by equipment connected to an electrical system.
Instead of allowing every controlled load to operate without considering the other electrical loads, the system can respond to changing demand.
Why Is This Important?
Electrical capacity is not unlimited. A property has a specific service size, and the electrical installation must be designed and operated according to applicable requirements.
When homeowners or businesses add high-demand equipment, the additional load needs to be evaluated.
For example, an EV charger may operate while a home is also using an electric range, dryer, HVAC equipment, water heater, and other appliances. Load management can be used in certain applications to coordinate electrical demand.
How It Can Work
Depending on the system, sensors or current transformers can monitor electrical consumption. When demand reaches a programmed or permitted threshold, the control equipment can reduce, interrupt, or otherwise manage the selected load.
When electrical demand decreases, the controlled equipment may be permitted to operate again.
The exact operating sequence depends on the equipment and installation design.
Common Applications
Load management can be considered for:
-
EV chargers
-
Electric vehicle charging stations
-
Hot tubs
-
Heating equipment
-
Residential properties
-
Apartment buildings
-
Commercial buildings
-
Industrial facilities
-
Multiple electrical loads
The technology can be useful in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical planning.
Can Load Management Replace a Panel Upgrade?
Sometimes load management may provide an alternative to an electrical upgrade, but it cannot be assumed that this will be the case for every property.
A licensed electrician needs to inspect the electrical installation and determine the appropriate solution.
Kiyan Electric Inc. can assess electrical requirements for homes, commercial offices, schools, supermarkets, facilities, manufacturers, apartment buildings, and industrial properties.
