The electronic switch that you are considering is made by Intellitec. It allows two loads to be supplied from one 20 amp circuit breaker.

One load, in my case the microwave oven, is the primary load. The other load, in my case the water heater, is the secondary (sheddable) load.
Whenever the primary load is activated, the Intellitec 0714 electronic switch shuts off the secondary load and keeps it off untill the primary load has been shut down, then the secondary load is allowed to resume drawing current.

The following link may prove helpful in understanding the device. The installation is fairly straight forward if one has a basic understanding of 120 volt AC circuits and current sensing coils.

Thanh you for the info on the Intellitec switch. There seems to be adequate room for it behind my power distribution panel. Just have to decide how far up on the to-do list it should go.
