Manage load shedding of your home electrical installation

Value proposition

Up to 10% energy saving

Main drivers

To reduce the electricity bill by reduction of subscribed demand while avoiding breaking of the central circuit breaker when power consumption exceeds the power subscribed.

Solution in brief

Installing a CDS load shedding contactor will permit to temporally stop supply to non-essential circuits and reduce output power.
CDS are especially designed to manage load shedding of electrical loads in residential and tertiary installations up to 90 A.
They avoid breaking of the central circuit-breaker when power consumption exceeds the power subscribed by the consumer.
To this end, they temporarily break supply to circuits considered to be non-priority circuits as soon as the total current drawn exceeds a pre-set threshold.
They also enable reduction of the electricity bill by authorising reduction of subscribed demand.

Value proposition

Reduce the electricity bill: load shedding reduces the power subscribed when the subscription was taken out.
Increase the number of loads that can be managed, without increasing subscribed demand.
Enhance continuity of supply: as soon as the power consumed by the installation approaches the power set on the product, CDS s shed non-priority loads, in cascade.

Architecture

The CDS single-phase load-shedding contactor sheds and restores loads in cascade of 2 non-priority circuits (bedroom1 & 2 heating) in order to supply the priority circuit (living room lighting)
according to the setpoint defined by the user (threshold set by knurled knob on the front face of the CDS)
Indicator lights H1 and H2 indicate the load shed circuit.
