Abstract
An apparatus includes an AC power module that provides alternating current ('AC') electrical power; a power distribution wiring harness that receives the AC electrical power from the AC power module; a signal injection module that injects a communication signal on the power distribution wiring harness using signal modulation; and a plurality of inductive coupling modules, each inductive coupling module inductively receiving power and the communication signal from a location along the power distribution wiring harness, wherein each inductive coupling module is structured to transmit at least one of the power and the communication signal to one or more loads, wherein each inductive coupling module is separate from other inductive coupling modules in the plurality of inductive coupling modules.
