1. A load management system for a circuit breaker panel, the system comprising:
a load management unit adapted to be connected to a wiring trough of the circuit breaker panel adjacent to a row of circuit breakers, the load management unit including a first circuit path comprising:
an input for coupling to a first circuit breaker in the row of circuit breakers within the wiring trough of the circuit breaker panel;
an output for coupling to loads outside the circuit breaker panel, the output comprising an angled connector having two connectors arranged at an angle from each other to reduce a wire bending radius of wires coupled to the connectors; and
a disconnect switch coupled between the input and the output, the disconnect switch also coupled to receive a control signal to control the switch to disconnect the input from the output.
