Abstract
There are described systems and methods for load management of an electrical panel. A first breaker interrupts the load current in response to detecting that the load current exceeds an adjustable current rating. The first breaker adjusts its adjustable current rating, so that a total load of the breakers does not exceed a panel rating of the electrical panel. Also, a controller communicates by wired or wireless communication to receive load current data from the breakers and identifies that the first breaker has interrupted the load current based on the data. The controller determines whether a second breaker may enable load sharing in response to identifying the interruption. If load sharing is enabled, the controller sends a first command to the first breaker to raise its adjustable current rating and a second command the second breaker to lower its adjustable current rating.
