Claim Text:
1. A low voltage power receptacle assembly in combination with a modular electrical system, comprising: a housing defining a cavity and a plurality of contact-receiving portions in spaced arrangement; at least two electrical contacts disposed in respective ones of said contact-receiving portions of said housing; a low voltage power receptacle; a circuit board assembly positioned in said cavity of said housing, wherein said circuit board assembly is in electrical communication with said at least two electrical contacts and with said low voltage power receptacle, and wherein said circuit board assembly is operable to transform a line voltage received at said electrical contacts to a lower voltage output at said low voltage power receptacle; a power supply line having at least two hot conductors, a neutral conductor, and a ground conductor, said power supply line having an upstream end portion configured to be electrically coupled to an AC power supply and a downstream end portion configured to be electrically coupled to said low voltage power receptacle assembly; and a junction block assembly configured to electrically and mechanically couple to said low voltage power receptacle assembly, and to supply AC power thereto; wherein only one of said hot conductors is in electrical communication with said circuit board assembly of said low voltage power receptacle assembly.
