1. A transportable modular multi-appliance device, comprising:

  • a container having a plurality of enclosures;

    a primary power source for producing AC power, the primary power source disposed inside the container;

    a plurality of AC-powered functional modules external to the primary power source and external or internal to the container and having a function other than controlling electrical power, said AC-cowered functional modules having electrical coupling means for electrical coupling to the primary power source so as to receive the AC power from the primary power source, each AC-powered functional module being dimensionally configured to removably fit within the enclosures to facilitate exchangeability thereby facilitating reconfiguration of the device to suit different service requirements;

    a plurality of sensors for monitoring the AC-powered functional modules; and

    a controller, the controller coupled to the primary power source and to the sensors and configured to automatically control the primary power source and allocate the AC power supplied by the primary power source among the AC-powered functional modules in response to inputs from the plurality of sensors.
