Abstract: In a method of checking normal input power and load of a programmable AC power distributor in its power-on state, indicator lights are installed in an output ON button and an output OFF button. During power ON, a master switch is switched to an ON position to detect the input power and obtain a detection result through a change of the indicator light in the output OFF button, and then the output ON button is pressed to check the power-on state of the load and obtain a detection result by outputting the change of the indicator light of the button. Therefore, users can instantly know whether the input power and load are in a normal state during the operation of turning on the power distributor, and this method makes the operation of the power distributor safer and more convenient, and ensures a high quality of power supply.
