Abstract
Systems and methods to distribute power to individual power outlets are disclosed. A particular apparatus includes a memory having program code and a processor configured to access the memory and execute the program code to determine whether to allow power to be supplied to an individual power outlet. In one implementation, the determination is based on a current draw and a resistance reading associated with the power outlet.
