Power adapters adapted to receive a module and methods of implementing power adapters with modules

A plurality of power adapters configured to apply power to loads, the plurality of power adapters comprising:

• a first power adapter configured to apply power to a first load, the first power adapter having a first recess for receiving a first module that is removably attached to the first recess;
• a second power adapter configured to apply power to a load, the second power adapter having a second recess for receiving a second module that is removably attached to the second recess;
• and
• a control device adapted to identify the first power adapter and the second power adapter;
• wherein the control device is adapted to enable a selection of timing patterns for the first power adapter and the second power adapter.

A method of applying power to a plurality of loads, the method comprising:

• configuring a first power adapter to apply power to a load, the first power adapter having a first recess for receiving a first module that is removably attached to the first recess;
• configuring a second power adapter to apply power to a load, the second power adapter having a second recess for receiving a second module that is removably attached to the second recess;
• identifying, by way of a control device, the first power adapter and the second power adapter;
• and
• mapping the first power adapter and the second power adapter based upon locations of the first power adapter and the second power adapter.
