  • Patent number: 11876371
    Abstract: The mapping of electric power distribution circuits and electric power outlets to breakers in a breaker panel is accomplished by providing a plurality of smart power testing devices and a control device that communicates with each of the smart power testing devices. Each of the smart power testing devices is connected to a respective one of the electric power outlets in a structure. Each smart power testing device can detect the AC voltage level provided at the electric power outlet. A user opens each breaker in the breaker panel, in succession. When a smart power testing device senses loss of AC voltage, it transmits a message to the control device. The control device can then identify which outlets are on a common electric power circuit, and by opening each breaker in succession, the control device can creating a mapping of outlets to breakers.
