A device for the management of electrical sockets connected to a branch of an AC electrical network, the device comprising:
- a monitor circuit arranged to detect a presence or absence of a load connected to one of the sockets;
- and
- a voltage level management circuit connected to said branch of the AC electrical network, the voltage management circuit comprising:
- a processing unit that processes information provided by said monitor;
- and
- an intervention unit coupled to said branch of the AC electrical network and controlled by said processing unit, said intervention unit comprising means for varying an AC voltage level in response to the load.
A method for managing electrical sockets connected to a branch of an AC electrical network, the method comprising:
- monitoring a load condition and detecting a presence or absence of a load on said one of the sockets;
- processing load condition information determined by said monitoring;
- and
- varying an AC voltage level provided to said one of the sockets in response to the processed load condition information.
