Method of identifying when to initiate control sequences

An apparatus for initiating a transfer of a load between a primary power source and a secondary power source, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory including computer program code which, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to:
• detect a non-conforming power event by determining that a parameter of an electrical signal providing power from the primary power source to the load is one of less than or greater than a first threshold value;
• compare a determined quantity of non-conforming power events that occur during a first time interval to a second threshold value;
• and
• responsive to the determined quantity of non-conforming power events being greater than the second threshold value, generate a control signal.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable code stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, causes an apparatus to perform:

• detecting a non-conforming power event by determining that a parameter of an electrical signal providing power from the primary power source to the load is one of less than or greater than a first threshold value;
• comparing a determined quantity of non-conforming power events that occur during a first time interval to a second threshold value;
• and
• responsive to the determined quantity of non-conforming power events being greater than the second threshold value, generating a control signal.
