The housing includes an “integrated” Lock-Off feature. It is integrated to one or more housing components of the circuit breaker not as a separate component to achieve most simplicity and least space used as compared to an “add-on” accessory based Lock-Off feature. The “integrated” Lock-Off feature has a feature that is configured to receive a shackle or a shank of a padlock. The circuit breaker further comprises a built-in Lock-Off mechanism including a handle that is configured to move relative to the feature.

Abrégé

A network-based energy management system of managing electric vehicle (EV) charging network infrastructure is provided. The system comprises a gateway including one or more of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), a building automation system and any other independent controller. The gateway is configured for performing charging authorization, load management and/or demand response on an EVSE network using more than one communication channels including remote and/or local modes. The EVSE network includes two or more components from a group of components including a first EVSE, a controller, a second EVSE, the building automation system, a local server, a remote server and other energy management device.
