  • Patent number: 12062901
    Abstract: An integrated electrical management system includes an electrical panel, at least one busbar mounted to the electrical panel, at least one controllable breaker electrically coupled to the at least one busbar, and processing equipment configured to process electrical signals. The processing equipment includes control circuitry configured to control the at least one controllable breaker, and one or more current sensing modules configured to sense a respective current for each of the at least one controllable breakers. The system senses currents or otherwise electrical load in branch circuit, and is configured to control the breakers on or off to control electrical load in each branch circuit. The system may receive user input, input from devices, input from other systems or network entities, or inputs from sensors, and in response determines operating parameters. Operating parameters may include on-off schedules for breakers, temporal information, fault information, or other suitable operating parameters.

  • Patent number: 11770006
    Abstract: The system includes one or more busbars couple to an AC line, branch relays each coupled to a busbar and to a respective circuit breaker, and current sensors each corresponding to at least one respective branch relay of the plurality of branch relays. The system also includes a deadfront arranged in front of the plurality of branch relays, and including openings corresponding to the branch relays allowing an electrical terminal of each branch relay to protrude forward through a respective opening. A circuit breaker is engaged with each respective branch relay, on the deadfront to create an array of branch circuit breakers. The combination of relay and circuit breaker allows each branch circuit to be controllable. The relays may include current sensors, such as a shunt, used to determine a branch circuit current and control the relay. Control circuitry manages the relay on-off operation and monitors branch circuit operation.

  • Patent number: 11552500
    Abstract: A system for managing electrical loads includes a plurality of branch circuits, a sensor system, and control circuitry. The sensor system is configured to measure one or more electrical parameters corresponding to the plurality of branch circuits, and transmit one or more signals to the control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to determine respective electrical load information in each branch circuit based on the sensor system, and control the electrical load in each branch circuit using controllable elements based on the respective electrical load information. The control circuitry transmits usage information, generates displays indicative of usage information, accesses stored or referencing information to forecast electrical load, and manages electrical load in response to identified events.
