ABSTRACT:
A system to stop or reduce electrical short circuits in homes. This invention is a refinement of the breaker box function. A computer controls breaker switching in the breaker box. A sum of the theoretical power consumption in a given breaker helps the computer determine if an electrical short is present. Outlet modules attach themselves to the home's standard electrical outlet (socket). They tell the computer when a new load (finite resistance) is to change the old theoretical breaker limit. The computer adjusts the theoretical limit to a new limit (never above maximum permitted) and allows the power drain on the breaker.
