Patent ID: 7242111

Claim:
A system for configuring power comprising: a modular junction box configured to convey alternating current (AC) power; and a direct current (DC) modular receptacle configured to removably connect with the modular junction box and to receive AC power from the modular junction box, the DC modular receptacle comprising: a communication system configured to receive a communication comprising configuration data that, when processed, identifies at least one selected DC power level; at least one DC receptacle; an AC to DC regulator configured to convert AC power to DC power; 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 selected DC power level, and to generate the DC power at the selected DC power level for the at least one DC receptacle; and a processor configured to process the communication and, in response thereto, to determine the selected DC power level based on the configuration data, to configure the at least one DC to DC regulator to convert the DC power to the selected DC power level, and to enable generating the DC power at the selected DC power level to the at least one DC receptacle.
