Abstract
A power distribution panel having circuit elements such as KTK and GMT fuses removably mounted to a unit housing by means of module members, thereby allowing for ease of customization of the circuit elements of the power distribution panel.
Claims23
A power distribution panel comprising:
- a housing having a back, top, bottom and two opposed side surfaces, the back surface configured with a power input connector and an array of power output connectors, the housing defining an open front end opposite the back surface for receiving circuit element modules, the housing also defining an interior of the power distribution panel;
- a plurality of circuit element modules coupled to the housing at the open end of the housing, wherein the circuit element modules comprise a circuit element disposed on a module member, the module member being configured to fit the open end of the housing, and further, wherein at least one circuit element module is a fuse module;
- an electrical circuit disposed within the interior of the power distribution panel, the electrical circuit electrically connecting the power input connector and the power output connectors to the circuit elements of the circuit element modules.
