In this paper we consider examples of orders in restricted power semigroups, where for any semigroup Sthe restricted power semigroup is given by with multiplication XY = {xy:x ∈ X, y ∈ Y} for all X, Y ∈ . We use the notion of order introduced by Fountain and Petrich in [2] which first appears in the form used here in [3]. If S is a subsemigroup of Q then S is an order in Q and Q is a semigroup of quotients of S if any q ∈ Q can be written as q = a*b = cd* where a, b, c, d ∈ S is the inverse of a(d) in a subgroup of Q, and in addition, all elements of S satisfying a weak cancellability condition called square-cancellability lie in a subgroup of Q.
