LOAD PRIORITY PLANNING EXAMPLES

Choose ONE P1 load based on :
LOW DUTY CYCLE -Very short ON and very long OFF times.
HIGH PRIORITY - Most Important to run when demanded.

Item Typical % Duty Cycle
Well Pump 3
Sump Pump 5
Septic Pump 5
Power tools - saw, drill 8
Microwave Oven, kitchen appliances 5

Choose ONE or TWO P2 and P3 loads based on :
MEDIUM DUTY CYCLE - Short ON and medium OFF times.
MEDIUM PRIORITY - Although these are critical priority loads, they are OK to assign to P2 or P3 if P1 has very low duty cycle.

Item Typical % Duty Cycle
Refrigerator 30
Deep Freezer 15
Air Compressor 20
Hot Plate, Electric Skillet 10
Vacuum Cleaner 5

Choose ONE P3 or P4 load based on :
HIGH DUTY CYCLE - Longer ON times, up to and possibly exceeding OFF times.
LOW PRIORITY - These loads have a long thermal cycle or storage time and therefore it is less important exactly when they run as it is that they run a sufficient amount of time within a 24 hour period.

Item Typical % Duty Cycle
Furnace Blower over 50
Battery Charger (for Inverter Battery Banks) over 50
Air Conditioner over 50
Electric Water Heater 10-50

Note: Duty cycle percentages are based on average on time out of 24 hours.

For example, a 5% duty cycle means the load would be running an average of 1 hour and 12 minutes out of each 24 hour day.

The PRIORITIZER is not recommended for constant load circuits such as room lights, television/VCR, Computers, etc.
