An electrical power distribution splitter is designed to receive high wattage electrical power, e.g. 80 W-600 W, and then to “split” that power into multiple low output wattage electrical power, e.g. 60 W/12V or 96 W/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.

A coordinated multiple power management system provides an efficient and unique means of controlling the power usage of devices attached to a personal energy platform. Power control in an abundant power situation (i.e. commercial power is available) saves money. Power control in a constrained power situation (i.e. commercial power is unavailable e.g. “power failure”) provides more availability of needed computing services (for example, emergency activities, enable longer communication periods, longer video streaming, security monitoring, internet access and communications, or critical healthcare device usage etc.). The power supplied to the devices can be determined automatically and is under program control, which allows the complete management and distribution of power to any, and all, devices attached to the personal energy platform.
