    Abstract: A system includes at least one pair of series adaptive clamps (SACs). Each SAC is configured to connect to a single conductor that is configured to conduct a constant current between shore-side power sources on opposite ends of the single conductor. Each SAC is configured to clamp a specified amount of power from the single conductor. Each SAC is configured to connect to one end of two ends of a power transfer bus, wherein the other end of the power transfer bus is connected to another SAC of a same pair of SACs. Each SAC is configured to provide a constant voltage to the power transfer bus at the constant current in order to supply at least some of the specified amount of power to a load connected to the power transfer bus.
