The PRIORITIZER is an AC Load Management System that combines and manages several loads with partial duty cycles into one equivalent load of up to 100% duty cycle. It can be used when emergency backup power is limited (a standby generator), full time with alternate power sources (solar or wind-powered battery banks, fuel cells, or other non-grid sources), or full time with utility power (to limit peak demand billing surcharges).

• Add more motor loads without overloading your backup Genset or Inverter
• Automatically sequences high power loads to reduce peak demand
• Peak Load Shaving to reduce utility peak demand charges
• Prevents multiple surge (motor) loads from starting/running simultaneously
• Reduces power surges by Zero-Crossing switching
• Remote Utility Override for backup use only
• Easy installation - priority selection is hard-wired
• Controls 3, 4, 6, or 8 LOADS 120/240 V mixed on 1 or 2 lines

APPLICATION EXAMPLES :

Peak shaving load management reduces the need to oversize a Genset or Inverter system for worst case peak load created by the random timing of self-starting loads. By preventing more than one of the combined loads from running at the same time, the PRIORITIZER helps to solve the problem of sizing the backup power system capacity required to handle multiple self-starting high power loads, especially those with a high starting surge current. This has the effect of increasing the self-starting motor load capacity of a backup (or off-line) power source.

FEATURES :

• Intelligent
  Unit automatically switches off loads or appliances of lower priority when a higher priority load activates, and turns them back on when it's finished.
• Automatic
  When utility power is available the unit can enable all of the loads, only sequencing when source power is limited, as from a generator, battery bank, or fuel cell. Of course, if you wish to sequence your loads at all times, for demand management, this feature is also standard.
• Fast
  When a high priority load activates, the lower priority loads are disabled in typically 16 to 33 milliseconds (1 to 2 AC cycles). This allows for maximum available starting amperage for motors.
• Smooth
  The unit waits five seconds before lower priority loads are re-energized to eliminate false starts due to contact bounce in appliance controllers
• Flexible
  The unit may be wired into your electrical service in such a way as to allow you to choose the number and priority level of the appliances which it monitors and controls. You may mix 120 volt and 240 volt loads freely among the circuits.
• Safe
  The unit is thermally protected, shutting off all controlled loads if they should pull too much current, thereby overheating the unit. When the relays cool down, the unit will automatically begin sequencing once again.
