breaker on air conditioner compressor unit. Each was numbered 1-6, I was one, my neighbor was two and so on.
During peak demand the utility would turn off all of the units numbered one for 10 minutes, then cycle to the twos, and so on. I thought it an ingenious way to shed load without anyone knowing.
I also made some good side money bypassing the radio signal system for those who did not want this occurring in their house....
