A power management device ( 200 ) and a method for use in a power distribution network ( 100 ) receives electrical energy and first determines if the power is a primary or secondary power source. When a secondary power source, the power management device ( 200 ) waits in standby mode, but when the power is primary power source the power management device ( 200 ) configures itself to route power to another node in the power distribution network ( 100 ). Power levels and faults within the network can be monitored and controlled by a central controller. Likewise loads ( 218, 220 ) may then be powered on as determined by a central controller to reduce LdI/dt voltage spikes and other undesirable side effects.
