Abstract
A user operable power distribution system that is suitable for supplying switched power to an individual workstation, or to an entire office, includes a user command module, such as a touch panel, for supplying low voltage command signals and a plug strip, which responds to the low voltage command signal to interconnect a load with a supply voltage, such as an AC power outlet. An unregulated power supply is provided in the plug strip and supplies the low voltage requirements for the switching circuit in the plug strip. In addition, the unregulated low voltage is supplied to the user command module to provide its low voltage power requirements.
