Classification: CPC H  B | IPC B  H

Claim 0:
1. A load control unit comprising:
a first solid state contact including a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and a first output terminal, wherein the first input terminal is configured to receive a first portion of power and the second input terminal is configured to receive a second portion of the power, and wherein the first output terminal is electrically connected to a first load;
a second solid state contact including 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 a second load;
a communication port configured to receive load parameters;
a memory; and
an electronic processor communicatively connected to the memory, the first input terminal, the second input terminal, the first output terminal, and the second output terminal, the electronic processor configured to
measure the power received by at least one of the first solid state contact and the second solid state contact,
receive the load parameters via the communication port,
dynamically control, in response to measuring the power and receiving the load parameters, at least one of the first load or the second load based on the power that is measured and the load parameters that are received, and
wherein dynamically control 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 the first portion of the power or the 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.
