Abstract
Examples provide a method that includes providing electric power at a first voltage level for a first auxiliary low voltage bus. The method further includes providing electric power at a second voltage level for a second auxiliary low voltage bus, the first voltage level differing from the second voltage level. The method further includes sensing, by a controller, a first power consumption at the first auxiliary low voltage bus. The method further includes sensing, by the controller, a second power consumption at the second auxiliary low voltage bus. The method further includes calculating, by the controller, a difference between the first power consumption and the second power consumption. The method further includes managing a load in one of the first auxiliary low voltage bus or the second auxiliary low voltage bus based at least in part on the difference between the first power consumption and the second power consumption.
