Patent ID: 7812479

Claim:
A system for configuring alternating current (AC) power comprising: a power system comprising: a plurality of direct current (DC) receptacles; at least one AC to DC regulator configured to convert the AC power to DC power; a power sampling system configured to sample a DC power level from at least one power sampling receptacle and to generate a signal comprising sampling data that, when processed, identifies the sampled DC power level; at least one DC to DC regulator configured to receive the DC power from the AC to DC regulator, to convert the DC power to the sampled DC power level, and to generate the DC power at the sampled DC power level for at least one DC receptacle, the sampled DC power level not initially preset, the sampling receptacle and the at least one DC receptacle being separate receptacles; a processor configured to process the signal and, in response thereto, determine the sampled DC power level and configure the at least one DC to DC regulator to convert the DC power to the sampled DC power level; and a user interface configured to generate for display an identification of the sampled DC power level wherein the user interface is configured to enable initiating sampling the DC power level from the at least one power sampling receptacle in response to a user input.
