Load Shedding Generator

Load Shedding Generator System | Power Management

A Load Shedding Generator System allows a smaller, more efficient, and less expensive standby generator to power multiple high voltage loads like Air Conditioners or Electric Water Heaters.

Load shedding allows 240-volt loads to share available power from a standby generator. Different manufacturers employ various strategies in conjunction with an intelligent controller to manage power. Strategies usually prioritize loads. The load with the highest priority always runs first. Lower priority loads run after the higher priority load ends or when the generator has enough capacity to run both.

Load Shedding Generator Management allows smaller, fuel-efficient home generators to provide power without the expense of larger and more costly systems. By sharing the available power, important appliances run when needed and unnecessary loads wait until they finish.

Load Shedding Generator Transfer Switch

Most power management systems implement load shedding through the automatic transfer switch. The transfer switch has a contactor module for HVAC systems, or it might external relay modules to control individual loads.
