1. A power distribution system, comprising:
a power distribution module, including:
a plurality of power receiver receptacles in a first face of the power distribution module, which is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the power distribution module;
a plurality of power transmission conductors coupled to the first plurality of power receiver receptacles; and
power transmission connectors in a second face of the power distribution module, which is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the power distribution module;
a plurality of spring actuating locking pins;
wherein the plurality of power receiver receptacles are configured to receive three- phase power; and
wherein the plurality of power transmission conductors are configured to:
provide a first phase of the three-phase power to a first conductor of the power transmission connectors;
provide a second phase of the three-phase power to a second conductor of the power transmission connectors; and
provide a third phase of the three-phase power to a third conductor of the power transmission connectors,
a power distribution module receptacle, including:
conductors;
wherein the power distribution module is configured to be coupled to the power distribution module receptacle with the power transmission connectors of the power distribution module aligned with the conductors of the power distribution receptacle via the plurality of spring actuating locking pins.
