Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a power distribution device. The power distribution device includes an input to receive power, a plurality of outputs, each output of the plurality of outputs being configured to provide output power, and being coupled to the input, a plurality of switching devices, each switching device of the plurality of switching devices being coupled to a respective output of the plurality of outputs, and a controller coupled to each of the plurality of switching devices. The controller is configured to receive power information indicative of the output power provided by each output of the plurality of outputs, determine, based on the power information, that an overcurrent condition exists, select, based on the power information and based on the determination that the overcurrent condition exists, at least one of the plurality of switching devices to disable, and disable the at least one switching device.
