ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
DRIVE
April 28, 2022
An energy management system for a recreational vehicle incudes a housing; a plurality of outputs, each output having an associated electrical parameter; and a circuit assembly arranged within the housing. The circuit assembly includes a power converter configured to receive AC power and supply DC power to one or more of the outputs; a plurality of relays, each relay being associated with a corresponding output; and a controller configured to configured to perform a load shedding operation in response to a first load condition being satisfied. The first load condition requires that a total parameter is equal to or above a first predetermined load threshold, the total parameter being a total value of the associated electrical parameters of the outputs. The load shedding operation sequentially opens any closed relays according to a predetermined opening scheme until the total parameter is below the first predetermined load threshold.
