Claim:
A power distribution system, comprising: a housing; a switch positioned at least partly in the housing and configured to connect with at least one input lead and adapted to control a flow of electrical current through said power distribution system; at least one electrical distribution line electrically connected to said switch; a plurality of terminations located in the housing, each termination adapted to removably and electrically connect an associated distribution line to a removable output lead, wherein said plurality of terminations are divided into two equal sets of first terminations of a first connector type and second terminations of a second connector type and wherein one of said first terminations is electrically connected to one of said at least one electrical distribution lines and is also electrically connected to one of said second terminations; a connection chamber in said housing, said chamber configured to enclose said plurality of terminations and to facilitate an electrical connection of one of said output leads to one of said terminations; and an access panel attached to said housing on one side of said connection chamber and adapted to allow user access through said housing to said connection chamber and said terminations, said access panel being interlocked with said switch such that when said access panel is opened, said switch is open to stop a conduction of electrical power from said switch to said plurality of terminations, and wherein said plurality of terminations are oriented such that all output leads enter said enclosure from substantially the same direction.
