Controllable Electric Loads
What are they? Non-essential electric loads that are deferred for a brief period of time with little or no effect on comfort, convenience, or interruption of a process.

Loads such as lighting, computers and other plug loads are not managed by the Energy Sentry and will not be effected.

There are several combinations of load control strategy to be applied, but the majority are programmed for the least important loads to be shed first and restored last. And the highest priority loads to be shed last and restored first.

The key to success with demand control and the Energy Sentry is the principal of thermal storage. When the electric load is turned off for small amounts of time with very little reduction in stored energy, then it’s a great candidate for demand control!
