Is there a power-strip like device for use with portable

a certain number of watts?

Like you'd want to turn off the refrigerator while the sump pump
cycles, to keep the total watts under say 2000; but mostly the
refrigerator stays on.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

If you had a transfer switch it would be alot safer on the equipment,
a cheap one wont do what you want but will have 2 watt meters so you
know the load and can balance it. They are cheap and easy to install
many are prewired. Generac has one prewired with exterior baox cables
plugs tec for about 300, I got mine free at Lowes with a cheap gen.
