First Claim
1. Power interface apparatus for providing a power distribution system from a plurality of separate power supply units comprising:
- a base receiving a plurality of separate power supply units;
an AC bus and a DC bus in said base;
means for applying a source of AC potential to said AC bus;
a plurality of first connector means mounted in said base coupled to said AC and DC buses;
said power supply units including a plurality of face plates each housing and covering the back of each of said power supply units;
second connector means mounted in each of said face plates and mated with said first connector means and coupling each power supply unit positioned on said base to said AC bus and said DC bus in said base; and
means in said base attached to said DC bus and having external access outside side base for acessing the DC power applied to said DC bus by said plurality of power supply units positioned on and coupled to said base.

Abstract
A power interface box is provided having a base housing an AC and a DC bus on which a plurality of separate power supply units are adapted to be positioned and interconnected to the buses in the base. A source of AC potential is applied to the AC bus for providing a source of power for the apparatus. A plurality of first female connectors are mounted in the base and coupled to the AC and DC buses. A plurality of face plates each having second male connectors mounted therein are each adapted to house a regulated power supply and to be mated with the first connector for coupling the power supplies positioned on the base to the AC and DC buses. Back studs extend from the base which are connected to the DC bus for distributing power from the power interface box.
