Systems and methods for managing power distribution from in-home electrical wiring are disclosed. In one embodiment, a power splitter device includes a an electrical input source connection with a first input line and a second input line for two hot phases of alternating current electricity, a primary electrical output and a secondary electrical output, the primary electrical output having a first primary output line and a second primary output line and the secondary electrical output having a first secondary output line and a second secondary output line, a first, second, third, and fourth current sensor, a first relay and a second relay, and a control logic microprocessor configured to receive measurements of current, determine an overcurrent condition based upon measurements of current over a period of time and disconnect power from the secondary electrical output connection based upon a determined overcurrent condition.
