Abstract
A wireless annunciator for an electrical generator displays data regarding operation of the electrical generator to provide feedback to a remote observer regarding performance of the electrical generator in meeting the demands placed thereon. The wireless annunciator wirelessly receives transmissions from one or more wireless modules and displays information based on the data contained in the transmissions. The wireless modules may be associated with sensors, for example, that measure various performance parameters of the electrical generator, such as current draw, fuel level, fuel pressure, and the like. A load management controller can communicate with one or more load-side modules, either wirelessly or across wired links, to control operation of one or more loads to avoid overloading of the electrical generator.

8. A power management system for a plurality of loads that are supplied power by an electrical generator during interruption of a primary power supply that normally supplies power to the plurality of loads, the system comprising:
-
a controller that monitors current draw on the electrical generator and determines if the electrical generator can meet the demands of the loads being supplied power by the electric generator; and a module wirelessly coupled to the controller and that electrically isolates a load from the electrical generator when instructed by the controller to reduce loading of the electrical generator. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A backup power supply system that supplies electrical power to an electrical system during interruption of utility power to the electrical system, the power management system comprising:
-
a load management controller; an electrical generator remote from the load management controller; a transfer switch that selectively connects the electrical system to the electrical generator during interruption of utility power; a wireless module associated with a load of the electrical system and operative to wirelessly receive instructions from the controller and, when instructed by the controller, change a current draw of the load on the electrical generator. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
