1. A power system for configuring alternating current (AC) power, the power system comprising:
- a plurality of direct current (DC) receptacles;
at least one AC to DC regulator to convert the AC power to DC power;
a voltage sampling system to sample a voltage from at least one voltage sampling receptacle and to generate a signal comprising sampling data that, when processed, identifies the sampled voltage;
at least one DC to DC regulator to receive the DC power from the AC to DC regulator, to convert the DC power to the sampled voltage, and to generate the DC power at the sampled voltage for at least one DC receptacle, the sampled voltage not initially preset; and
a processor to process the signal and, in response thereto, determine the sampled voltage and configure the at least one DC to DC regulator to convert the DC power to the sampled voltage.

Abstract
An automatic sensing power system automatically has a voltage sampling system that samples a voltage from an electrical device, determines a power requirement for the electrical device, converts power to the required level, and outputs the power to the electrical device when the electrical device is connected to the automatic sensing power system.
