Power device having multiple plug assemblies

A power device, comprising:

• a housing;
• a power circuit assembly positioned within the housing;
• a first plug assembly coupled to the housing and configured to deliver input power from a power source to the power circuit assembly at a first voltage;
• a second plug assembly coupled to the housing and configured to deliver input power from the power source to the power circuit assembly at a second voltage that is different from the first voltage;
• at least one power connector port coupled to the housing for connecting the power circuit assembly to an electrical device, the at least one power connector port including a USB port;
• and
• a controller configured to operate the power circuit assembly to selectively receive power from the first and the second plug assemblies.

A method of operating a power device for delivering input power from a power source to an electrical device, the method including steps of:

• receiving an input power signal at a power circuit assembly from a power source, the power circuit assembly including a controller, an electrical circuit, a first plug assembly coupled to an electrical circuit for transmitting input power from the power source to the electrical circuit at a first voltage, and a second plug assembly coupled to the electrical circuit for transmitting input power from the power source to the electrical circuit at a second voltage;
• the controller sensing a position of the first plug assembly;
• and
• the controller operating the electrical circuit in a first operating mode to receive the input power signal from the first plug assembly upon sensing the first plug assembly is in a first position;
• and
• the controller operating the electrical circuit in a second operating mode to receive the input power signal from the second plug assembly upon sensing the first plug assembly is in a second position.
