Patent ID: 7812477

Claim:
A system for configuring power comprising: a modular junction unit configured to receive alternating current (AC) power comprising: a communication system configured to receive at least one externally transmitted communication comprising configuration data that, when processed, identifies at least one selected direct current (DC) power level; at least one AC to DC regulator configured to convert the AC power to DC power; at least one DC to DC regulator configured 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, and to generate the DC power at the selected DC power level, the selected DC power level not initially preset; and a processor configured to receive the communication from the communication system, to process the communication, to determine the selected DC power level based on the configuration data, and to configure the at least one DC to DC regulator to convert the DC power to the selected DC power level; and a DC modular receptacle configured to removably connect with the modular junction unit and to receive the DC power at the selected DC power level from the modular junction unit, the DC modular receptacle comprising at least one DC receptacle configured to receive the DC power at the selected DC power level generated from the at least one DC to DC regulator and to convey the DC power at the selected DC power level.
