Abstract:
A virtual branch circuit system for an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) can include a current sensor disposed in operative communication with circuit wires of a plurality of circuits of a virtual branch. The current sensor can be disposed between a plurality of circuit breakers and a plurality of respective loads. At least one of the plurality of loads is not an EVSE. The current sensor can be configured to sense a virtual branch total current comprising total current of all non-EVSE loads on the virtual branch. The system can include a control module operatively connected to the EVSE and configured to control a maximum EVSE current based on the virtual branch total current to maintain the virtual branch total current at or under a maximum branch current threshold.
