How to prevent power grid overload and machine shutdown

Many are faced with a situation where when turning on several powerful consumers in apartments, cottages, offices and country houses, the machine switches off when overloaded.

Until recently, a simple solution to this problem did not exist. It was required to buy additional electric power, which is very expensive, and often impossible. Or install a priority relay, which is associated with significant time costs for the device, for the alteration of the wiring, electrical panel and subsequent repair of the premises.

However, there are household appliances that solve a complex problem without extra costs.

Power load optimizers, e.g. OEL-820 - a new kind of priority relay, designed to effectively reduce the power consumed by energy-intensive household appliances, prevent overload and turn off the machine.

New devices do not require a specialist to install and easily connects to the network.

An innovative idea of ​​the invention is to redistribute electric power between a pair of consumers, depending on their priority.

Priority relayOEL-820

The principle of operation is automatic remote shutdown of a non-priority consumer during the priority operation.

The device consists of block A for connecting a priority consumer and block B for non-priority.

Transmission of commands between blocks: over the air. It is important to note that the priority consumer never turns off, which does not interrupt the operation of its automation - thermostat, timer, etc. Only a non-priority consumer is disconnected.

A few examples of use.

When the priority electric convector A switches to heating mode (in the first room), the non-priority electric convector B (in the second room) is turned off. As soon as the temperature in the first room reaches the set value, the priority electric convector will turn off the heating. In this case, the non-priority appliance will continue to operate.

The energy consumption of a couple of kilowatt electroconvectors is only 1 kW. Accordingly, four kilowatt electroconvectors will consume only 2 kW!

Connection of electric convectors in one room.

The circuitry of electrical appliances is the same as in the first example. The phases of the working cycles of electroconvectors are shifted relative to each other, and the total consumption will not exceed the consumption of one of them. Each electric convector heats its own zone, so their simultaneous operation is not required - alternating work is enough.

When the priority electric kettle A is turned on in the kitchen, the non-priority electric convector B in the room is turned off. As soon as the kettle turns off, the heater continues to work.

When the priority well pump A is turned on, the non-priority storage water heater B is turned off while the membrane tank is being filled with water. This is usually less than a minute. When the pump is turned off by the automatic pump station, the water heater will resume operation.

When the priority washing machine A is turned on, the non-priority electroconvector is turned off, releasing electrical power. At the end of the wash, the operation of the heater will continue.
