Interlock accessory for electrical vehicle (ev) application

Abstract

A residential electrical load center including an interlock accessory is configured to distribute electrical power to all different circuits by bus bars for an electrical vehicle (EV) application. The residential electrical load center comprises a main circuit breaker that is configured to protect the bus bars from potential overloads and or short circuits, a plurality of branch circuit breakers that are connected to the bus bars and are configured to protect individual circuits for each load of a plurality of loads and an interlock accessory that is configured to interlock two branch circuit breakers of the plurality of branch circuit breakers together so that both branch circuit breakers cannot be “ON” at the same time which allows one branch circuit breaker to be connected to a selected load (e.g. a clothes drier, an electrical range, etc.), while the other is connected to an electrical vehicle charger.
