Abstract
A modular electrical power block assembly has sixteen separate electrical conductors divided equally into two separate halves of the total assembly. The two half sections are electrically isolated from each other in a single housing. Each half of the assembly contains three live electrical conductors, three neutral electrical conductors, and two ground electrical conductors for forming three different electrical circuits. The input end of each half section of the power block is separately electrically coupled to a different electrical power feed for energizing the live electrical conductors in each half section of the power block to provide a total of six separate electrical circuits for the entire power block. The output end of each half of the modular electrical power block can be electrically coupled to either the input of a separate power block module for providing three additional electrical circuits in close proximity to the six circuit modular electrical power block, or the output of each half section of the six circuit modular electrical power block can be electrically coupled to the input of one half section of a similar six circuit modular electrical power block. Each mod…
