Abstract: A power distribution unit including a base, at least one socket, and at least one detecting unit is provided. The socket is disposed at the base and has a power end and a ground end. The detecting unit is disposed at the base and comprises at least two switches in communication with an AND gate. Communication between a plug and the socket is detected utilizing the AND gate. A voltage signal is output responsive to the detected communication. More specifically, a first voltage signal is output responsive to detection of receipt of both the power end and the ground end by the socket and/or receipt of the ground end by the socket and absence of the power end. A second voltage signal is output responsive to receipt of the power end by the socket and absence of the ground end.

Abstract: An apparatus including a base, a socket, a first switch, a second switch, and an AND gate is provided. The socket is disposed at the base and the socket is configured to receive a plug. The socket has a power end in communication with the first switch and a ground end in communication with the second switch. When a plug is disposed at the socket, the AND gate outputs an alarm signal responsive to the first switch being short when the plug is electrically connected to the power end of the socket and the second switch being open when the plug is electrically disconnected from the ground end of the socket.

Abstract: A power distribution unit including a base, at least one socket, at least one detecting unit and a management unit is provided. The socket is disposed at the base and has at least one power end and a ground end. The detecting unit is disposed at the base. When a plug is disposed at the socket, the detecting unit outputs an alarm signal if the plug is electrically connected to the power end of the socket but the plug is not electrically connected to the ground end of the socket. The management unit is electrically connected to the detecting unit and performs a predetermined operation in response to the alarm signal.
