Energy Management Switch AIMS Power

The Energy Management Switch (EMS) by AIMS Power offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for managing power and providing additional protection for applications utilizing inputs from an inverter, shore, or generator with a single 20A branch circuit. Designed to address the challenge of multiple loads sharing power from a single circuit, the EMS is ideal for mid to large appliances that might operate simultaneously, potentially overloading the circuit. This intelligent switch ensures the circuit remains functional by prioritizing the primary load and cutting power to the secondary load when necessary.

Optimized Power Management

The AIMS Power EMS is engineered to apply power to both primary and secondary loads until the total current exceeds approximately 18 Amps AC. At this point, the EMS automatically disconnects the secondary load to prevent the 20A circuit breaker from tripping, ensuring continuous operation of the primary load. Once the total current drops below a preset level of approximately 5A, the secondary load is automatically restored. This seamless management of power distribution makes the EMS a vital component for maintaining stability in your power system.

Versatile Applications

This EMS is particularly beneficial in scenarios where two significant appliances or devices share a single 20A branch circuit. Typical applications include RVs, boats, off-grid systems, and other setups where multiple loads might operate concurrently. By prioritizing the power supply to the primary load, the EMS ensures that essential devices remain operational even when the circuit is under heavy load.

Easy Installation and Configuration

The EMS features one input and two outputs, with Circuit A designated as the primary (priority) branch and Circuit B as the secondary load, which can be shut off as needed. Installation is straightforward, with mounting holes spaced 3.5 inches apart for easy setup. The device is compatible with a range of wire sizes, from 12 AWG to 8 AWG, ensuring flexibility in various installation scenarios. Additionally, a dip switch allows for control over delay settings, providing further customization to meet specific needs.

Reliable Performance and Specifications

Constructed to deliver reliable performance, the EMS operates with an AC input voltage and frequency of 120 VAC 50/60 Hz, and an input current of up to 18 A. It provides an AC output voltage and frequency of 120 VAC 50/60 Hz, with a maximum output current of 18 A. Weighing just 2 lbs and measuring 7.25 inches in length, 6.5 inches in depth, and 2.37 inches in height, this compact device is easy to integrate into your power management system.

By incorporating the AIMS Power EMS into your setup, you can effectively manage power distribution, protect your circuit from overloads, and ensure continuous operation of critical loads. Whether you’re managing power in an RV, boat, or off-grid system, the EMS provides a reliable and efficient solution to meet your needs.
