TL;DR
Load management is the automatic limiting or scheduling of large electrical loads so a home's total demand stays within its service capacity. Devices range from simple interlocks that pause an EV charger while the dryer runs to energy management systems recognized by NEC 625.42 and 750 that throttle charging in real time.
What it means
Load management is the automatic limiting or scheduling of large electrical loads so a home's total demand stays within its service capacity. Devices range from simple interlocks that pause an EV charger while the dryer runs to energy management systems recognized by NEC 625.42 and 750 that throttle charging in real time. It is often the alternative an electrician proposes when a panel calculation comes up short, avoiding a costly service upgrade.
