Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for distributing electrical power to a plurality of electrical loads, the method comprising:
coupling an existing group of the electrical loads to a common power source through a load management system, wherein the plurality of electrical loads are coupled to a power system of a vehicle;
comparing an aggregate group load characteristic associated with at least the existing group of the electrical loads to an aggregate group load characteristic threshold value; and
determining that the aggregate group load characteristic exceeds the aggregate group load characteristic threshold value and, in response:
increasing a number of subgroups of the existing group, using subgroups that are formed without requiring information about individual load characteristics associated with individual electrical loads; and
applying power to individual subgroups during non-overlapping time periods.
