Patent ID: 7812478

Claim:
A power system for configuring alternating current (AC) power, the power system comprising: a plurality of direct current (DC) receptacles; a communication system to receive a communication comprising configuration data that, when processed, identifies at least one selected DC power level; at least one AC to DC regulator to convert the AC power to DC power; a power sampling system 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 to receive the DC power from the at least one AC to DC regulator, to convert the DC power to the selected DC power level, to generate the DC power at the selected DC power level for at least one DC receptacle, 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 other DC receptacle, the selected DC power level and the sampled DC power level are not initially preset; and a processor to: process the communication and, in response thereto, determine the selected DC power level based on the configuration data and configure the at least one DC to DC regulator to convert the DC power to the selected DC power level; and 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.
