Abstract
A method of distributing electric current to electrical outlets, and a program to implement same, including the steps of supplying electric current to the electrical outlets not yet connected to an electronic device upon receipt of a distribution request from the electrical outlets; determining the instantaneous current intensity supplied to the electrical outlets; comparing the determined current intensity to a threshold referred to as the maximum threshold; and when the predetermined current intensity is greater than the maximum threshold, selecting an electrical outlet and terminating the supply of electric current to the selected electrical outlet. The steps of selection and termination being carried out while continuing the step of supplying electric current to the electrical outlets not yet connected to an electronic device upon receipt of a distribution request from the electrical outlets.
