ABSTRACT:
A power distribution system for prewiring a modular wall panel unit with electrical conductors. The system is installed in the wiring channel that extends along the bottom edge of the panel unit. The system includes a power block located at each of the opposite ends of the panel wiring channel. Each power block comprises a housing containing ten flat, vertically aligned bus bars that are each connected to a separate one of four line, four neutral, a safety ground and an isolated ground conductors of the power supply of the site at which the panel unit is installed. Each power block is capable of receiving, at the end thereof adjacent the end of the wiring channel, on either or both faces thereof, a connector for a jumper cable for connecting two similar power distribution systems in adjoining panel units. Each power block is also capable of receiving, on either or both faces thereof, a duplex outlet unit or a power-in connector for connecting the bus bars of the power block to the separate conductors of the site power supply. The duplex outlet units are of two types which may each be installed in a power block in two different orientations to connect the outlet unit to a selected pair of the four different pairs of line and neutral conductors of the system.
