Abstract: A power detection and activation outlet assembly includes a housing having a plurality of power ports therein. The plurality of power ports includes a primary outlet and a secondary outlet. A power plug, for plugging into an electrical outlet, is in electrical communication with each of the power ports. A switch is in electrical communication with the primary outlet. The switch is in a normally closed position such that electricity is not provided to the primary outlet by the power plug. A current sensor is in electrical communication with the switch. The current sensor actuates the switch to an open position when the current sensor detects a current greater than 1.0 ampere. The current sensor is positioned on a power cord to detect current in the power cord.
