Abstract
A power distribution system for providing power, data and/or signals including a chassis with an open channel formed on one side. At least one line buss is mounted on the inside of at least one sidewall and configured to be connected to a power source for providing AC power. A plurality of power modules are configured to removably mount to the chassis and receive power/data/signals from the chassis. Each module includes a housing with walls. A front wall includes openings with one outlet port accessible through the openings. Electrical circuitry in the housing coverts or transmits power, data or communication signals to the outlet port. One or more line connections protrude out from at least one of the walls and are located so as to come into contact with one of the associated busses in the chassis when the module is attached to the chassis.
