Patent ID: 7368830

Claim:
A method of distributing polyphase alternating current power through a power distribution apparatus comprising a polyphase power input, a plurality of polyphase power outputs, and a plurality of separate power information visual display sections disposed in the power distribution apparatus, comprising: with at least a first of the plurality of polyphase power outputs, distributing a first power phase received by the polyphase power input; with at least a second of the plurality of polyphase power outputs, distributing a second power phase received by the polyphase power input; with at least one of the plurality of separate power information visual display sections disposed in the power distribution apparatus, reporting at the power distribution apparatus power information regarding the first power phase distributed by the at least a first of the plurality of polyphase power outputs; and with at least a second of the plurality of separate power information visual display sections disposed in the power distribution apparatus, reporting at the power distribution apparatus power information regarding the second power phase distributed by the at least a second of the plurality of polyphase power outputs, the reporting power information regarding the second power phase overlapping with reporting power information regarding the first power phase.
