Abstract: A power pedestal including a receptacle, a circuit breaker electrically connected between a power source and the receptacle and including separable contacts structured to trip open and electrically disconnect the receptacle from the power source, a current sensor structured to detect current flowing to the receptacle, and a ground fault detection device structured to sense a ground fault based on an output of the current sensor and to control the circuit breaker to trip open the separable contacts in response to detecting the ground fault. The ground fault detection device has an adjustable range of ground fault protection.

Abstract: A splitter cord for use with a power pedestal including a plurality of receptacles, the splitter cord includes a plurality of branch circuits each having a first end including a connector structured to electrically connect to one of the plurality of receptacles, a second end electrically connected to a common node, and a current regulator electrically connected between the first and second ends and being structured to control current flowing through said branch circuit such that current exiting said one receptacle is substantially equal to current entering said one receptacle, and a stem circuit having a first end including a connector structured to electrically connect to a device or vehicle receptacle and a second end electrically connected to the common node. A sum of currents flowing through the plurality of branch circuits is equal to current flowing through the stem circuit.
