Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing power output of a converter has been provided by present disclosure having an electrical entry power sensor for measuring power drawn by an electrical entry of a household, a power drawn increase prediction module, a power budget controller managing power allocation to restrict a current level output by the power converter so as to prevent power drawn by the electrical entry from exceeding a predefined limit should the greatest probable jump in power drawn occur, a user interface allowing a user to request changes to said current level output by the power converter to charge an electric vehicle, wherein the power budget controller makes suggestions to said user to adjust said power drawn and has the user confirm said changes in order to reallocate said allocation according to said user's adjustments.
