ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SPLITTER
An electrical power distribution splitter is designed to receive high wattage electrical power, e.g. 80W-600W, and then to “split” that power into multiple low output wattage electrical power, e.g. 60W/12V or 96W/24V. An IC and circle board in the distribution splitter is used to reduce output power in this manner. The result is the ability to input a single large wattage electrical power supply to a distribution splitter which then outputs multiple lower wattages to a variety of individual different circuits, and, in so doing, a Class 2 UL power supply can be utilized. This is especially important in the signage industry where, for example, one large wattage power electrical supply feeding into the power distribution splitter can supply multiple smaller wattage power to different circuits in one sign.
