Claim 14:
15. A method of providing high voltage AC power to a remote site via a power distribution unit that includes an Ethernet port, at least one additional Ethernet port, an inverter, an AC outlet and a residual current device, the method comprising:
receiving, at the Ethernet port, an Ethernet cable providing low voltage DC power and an electrical connection to protective earth from a power source;
receiving, at the at least one additional Ethernet port, an associated at least one Ethernet cable providing low voltage DC power;
receiving, at the inverter, a combination of the low voltage DC power from the Ethernet port and the low voltage DC power from the at least one additional Ethernet port and inverting the combined low voltage DC power into high voltage AC power;
providing the high voltage AC power and the electrical connection to protective earth to devices connected to the AC outlet;
utilizing the residual current device to detect a leak in the high voltage AC power being output via the AC outlet; and
shutting down the outputting of the high voltage AC power in the event a leak is detected.
