Claim 6:
7. A method of dynamically performing load control using a load control unit including a first solid state contact, a second solid state contact, a communication port, a memory, and an electronic processor, the method comprising:
measuring a power received via a first input terminal of the first solid state contact;
receiving load parameters via the communication port; and
dynamically controlling, in response to measuring the power and receiving the load parameters, at least one of a first load or a second load based on the power that is measured and the load parameters that are received, and
wherein dynamically controlling the at least one of the first load or the second load includes one of:
shedding the at least one of the first load or the second load from the power,
connecting the at least one of the first load or the second load to receive at least one of a first portion the power or a second portion of the power, or
transferring the at least one of the first load or the second load between different portions of the power,

wherein the first solid state contact includes the first input terminal, a second input terminal, and a first output terminal, wherein the first input terminal is configured to receive the first portion of power and the second input terminal is configured to receive the second portion of the power, and wherein the first output terminal is electrically connected to the first load,
wherein the second solid state contact includes a third input terminal, a fourth input terminal, and a second output terminal, wherein the third input terminal is configured to receive the first portion of the power and the fourth input terminal is configured to receive the second portion of the power, and wherein the second output terminal is electrically connected to the second load, and
wherein the electronic processor is communicatively connected to the memory, the first input terminal, the second input terminal, the first output terminal, and the second output terminal.
