METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTELLIGENT SPLITTING AND CONTROLLING OF A HIGH VOLTAGE OUTLET

A power management device for intelligently splitting and controlling a high power outlet is described. The device includes a housing, power input, outlets, power sensor, and a controller. The housing has an internal compartment configured to hold components of the device and an exterior surface. The device has a plurality of outlets on the exterior surface of the housing. Each outlet is configured to connect to an appliance. Each outlet has a power sensor configured to sense current draw and/or power use at the outlet. The controller of the device is contained within the internal compartment of the housing and monitors the usage of each outlet via readings from the power sensors. The controller determines, based on the monitored usage and appliance parameters, one or more outlets to provide current to, and causes current to be provided to the determined outlet(s).
