1. A rack mount power system for configuring alternating current (AC) power, the rack power system comprising:
- a plurality of direct current (DC) receptacles;
at least one AC receptacle configured to convey AC power at an AC power level;
an AC to DC regulator configured to convert AC power to DC power;
a plurality of DC to DC regulators, each corresponding to one of the DC receptacles and each configured to receive the DC power from the AC to DC regulator, to dynamically convert the DC power to a selected DC power level for the corresponding DC receptacle, and to generate the DC power at the selected DC power level for the corresponding DC receptacle, each selected DC power level independent of other selected DC power levels, each selected DC power level not selected from an initially preset conversion level; and
a processor configured to determine each selected DC power level, to dynamically configure each DC to DC regulator to dynamically convert the DC power to the selected DC power level for the corresponding DC receptacle, and to enable generating the DC power at the selected DC power levels to the corresponding DC receptacles.

Abstract
An automatic sensing power system automatically determines a power requirement for an 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
