Inventory existing and new loads before selecting a solution.
V19
Smart electrical load management
Use load shedding, charge controllers or power management to electrify without assuming a larger service is always required.
Checked: 2026-08-22
Dynamic management can prioritize building loads and limit others, but must be compatible with code/equipment.
Panel changes, interlocking or unlisted devices require electrician and appropriate equipment.
Useful tools / data
- Load calculation
- Consumption profile
- Controller/load datasheets
What the professional checks
- Validate service capacity
- Design priorities/load shedding
- Commission failure scenarios
Sources and limits
Triage helps prepare the project; it does not replace permits, calculations, inspections or regulated work.
