Patent number: 11770006Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Span.IO, Inc.Inventors: Archan Padmanabhan Rao, Chadwick Conway, Jack Jester Weinstein, Ian Dimen

Publication number: 20220216728Abstract: A system includes control circuitry for identifying, during operation in a first operating mode wherein electrical power is limited by protection devices, an indicator to enter a second operating mode. The indicator corresponds to power consumption of the electrical system exceeding a power capacity of the electrical system, nearing, achieving, or exceeding a limit. In response to the indicator, the system operates in the second operating mode by retrieving reference information comprising load preferences and limits, and managing one or more loads, sources, or both to modify power consumption, power capacity, or both based on the indicator and based on the reference information. The system communicates with loads or sources, and manages branch circuit using controllable elements to prevent power consumption from exceeding power capacity. The system modifies setpoints, turns devices on or off, schedules device operation or otherwise manages the electrical system based on predetermined preferences.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: Cole Ashman, Jack Jester Weinstein, Julia Sachs, Chadwick Conway
