Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a power distribution device having a power input and a plurality of power receptacles. The power receptacles are coupled in parallel with each other. A switching circuit is coupled between the power input and the power receptacles. A circuit breaker detects when an aggregate current load of the receptacles is greater than a rating of the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker disconnects the power input from all of the receptacles after a first amount of time following the detection. An electronic controller is configured to disconnect a subset of the receptacles from the power input with the switching circuit to reduce the aggregate current load below the rating of the circuit breaker within a second amount of time following the detection. The second amount of time is less than the first amount of time.
