Load management controller for a household electrical installation
First Claim
1. A load management controller for a household electrical installation, the household electrical installation comprising:
- a plurality of electrical sub-circuits supplied by an electricity power supply, each of the electrical sub-circuits having an electricity usage profile containing rules determining the supply of electricity to the electricity sub-circuit associated therewith;
the load management controller comprisingmeans to access the electricity usage profiles; and
means to control supply of electricity to the electrical sub-circuits having an electricity usage profile in accordance with the rules of the electricity usage profile for that electrical sub-circuit, wherein the means to control supply of electricity to the electrical sub-circuits further comprises a high-speed switching device, responsive to the load management controller, intermediate the electricity power supply and the electrical sub-circuit having an electricity usage profile.

Abstract
This invention relates to a load management controller for a household electrical installation comprising a plurality of electrical sub-circuits. The electrical sub-circuits may each comprise a plurality of components, a single component or a part of a single component. A plurality of the electrical sub-circuits have electricity usage profiles containing rules determining the supply of electricity to the electrical sub-circuit. The load management controller has access to the electricity usage profiles of the electrical sub-circuits and controls the supply of electricity to the electrical sub-circuit in accordance with the electricity usage profile related to that electrical sub-circuit. The household electrical installation may comprise a rechargeable battery bank or supply that may be used to provide power to the household electrical installation.
