Abstract
An apparatus, system and method of efficiently configuring a power distribution system includes the provision of a dual-bus power distribution assembly, each bus of which may be connected to power sources and where the circuit breakers are adapted such that power from either of the two buses can be routed to an electrical load to provide redundant or non-redundant power, as required. Each circuit breaker position is capable of being configured to connect between either of the two buses and an individual load equipment supply bus. The circuit breaker may be a plug-in type where one of the terminals is adapted by a part that may be installed in one of two orientations. In the first orientation a first bus is connected to the individual load equipment supply bus and in the second orientation the second bus is connected to the individual load equipment supply bus.
