The invention discloses a construction site power utilization period and overload controlling method and a power distribution device. The method comprises the steps that a
general distribution box is arranged at a power source line incoming position and is provided with three output paths, the first path is a dormitory
power output path, the second path is a construction
power output path, and the third path is a safety
power output path, wherein the dormitory power output path and the construction power output path are both provided with a
time switch; the power utilization periods of dormitories and construction are controlled respectively through the time switches; in a
work period, dormitory power supply is automatically
cut off, and power is only supplied to construction; in a non-
work period, construction power supply is automatically
cut off, and power is only supplied to the dormitories; the normal power supply to construction lighting and a safety alarming
system is guaranteed through the safety power output path. According to the construction site power utilization period and overload controlling method and the power distribution device, through the simple improvement on the power distribution device on a construction site, the power utilization safety problem of the construction site is well solved; although the initial investment is slightly larger than that of a traditional power distribution scheme, the power utilization cost can be greatly reduced. Meanwhile, the power utilization normative performance and safety of the construction site are improved.
