Abstract
A power system includes a power supply, a common bus, and two or more receptacles coupled to the common bus. In addition, the power system includes two or more connectors, each connector coupled to a receptacle of the two or more receptacles. The power system further includes a protective breaker coupled to the common bus between the power supply and the receptacles, the protective breaker operated by a protective relay and a low voltage power supply. Further, the power system includes an umbilical cord, the umbilical cord passing from the low voltage power supply to the protective relay through each receptacle and each connector such that the removal of any connector from any receptacle breaks the electrical pathway between the low voltage power supply and the protective relay.
