Application & Ratings

The Simple Switch SSCM240CT is a 40-amp load-shedding device that uses a split-core current transformer (CT) to monitor current draw and automatically shed non-essential loads — helping prevent panel overloads and reduce peak energy consumption. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial applications such as managing EV chargers, electric water heaters, dryers, HVAC equipment, and other high-draw loads alongside a primary service.

  • Rating: 40A load shed capacity
  • CT Type: Split-core (no rewiring of monitored conductor required)
  • Use Case: Automatic load management / demand response for smart energy systems

The split-core current transformer clamps around the monitored conductor without requiring any rewiring or service interruption. It continuously senses the current draw on that circuit; when consumption approaches or exceeds the programmed threshold, the SSCM240CT signals the connected load to shed (switch off), preventing an overload condition. Once demand drops, the shed load can be re-enabled automatically.

The SSCM240CT is rated at 40 amps and is typically used to shed high-draw secondary loads such as EV chargers, electric water heaters, electric dryers, pool heaters, or HVAC equipment. It is ideal for situations where a new high-demand appliance (like an EV charger) is being added to a service that is already near capacity, avoiding the need for a costly service upgrade.
