A disaggregation monitor is provided of an electrical power system having an electrical circuit with branches and loads. The disaggregation module includes a memory configured to store instructions and a processing device disposed at the location and in communication with the at least one memory. The processing device upon execution of the instructions is configured to a) iteratively and automatically control or instruct to turn ON one branch set having one or more branches of the plurality of branches at a time while remaining branches of the plurality of branches are turned OFF to isolate the branch set until all branches of the plurality of branches have been included in at least one isolated branch set, b) obtain an electrical signature of each isolated branch set; and c) disaggregate at least one load of the plurality of loads using two or more of the electrical signatures obtained.
