My Intellitec panel has a panel on the left that is intended to show loads active and shed when below 50A service. The problem is that the list of loads is gone so I have no idea when is being shed.

Is there a way to test or simulate a shed action so I can determine what load each light is attached to?

Thanks,

I'm not sure but if you trip a breaker that might give you an idea of what is on the line

Put a big load on it and see what shuts off. Another way is to look in the breaker panel and see what is connected to which terminal on the control board.

Not sure I have your question right, but if I do, there will not be any indication of load on 50 amp service. You should get one on 20 or 30 amp however.

The typical order is something like:
1. Water Heater
2. Refrigerator
3. Rear a/c
4. Washer/dryer (if equipped)
5. Front a/c

Water heater and fridge come first because they have an alternate power source (propane).

However, the order is programmable and up to the RV manufacturer who installs it. You can get an EMS service manual from the Intellitec web site and check to see how yours is set up, but it is a bit esoteric and requires disassembling the load center to see the wiring.

The easier way to to crank up both airs and the water heater on a 30A supply and see what gets shut down. Add an electric heater to the load to push it further.
