Abstract
A power supply control system including a variable power converter for converting electric power from a power supply to a load into that of a specification required by the load in response to a power specification information source provided on the load side. With a change in the load, the information source also changes, thereby providing a flexible power supply control system capable of meeting different loads. For applications to a high power supply, the system comprises a plurality of variable power converters adapted to operate selectively in accordance with requisite power information sources provided in or on the side of a plurality of loads, thereby providing a system realizing a flexible power supply. For application to a low power supply, the system comprises a plug having a power specification information source and a socket having a variable power converter.
