    Abstract: A structure of electrical connection is a structure of mutual electrical connection between a first power supply unit, a second power supply unit, and electric wires. The first power supply unit is provided with a first columnar terminal, and the second power supply unit is provided with a second columnar terminal. A tubular terminal is connected to an end of the electric wire. A first tubular terminal fitted to the first columnar terminal, a second tubular terminal fitted to the second columnar terminal, and a columnar terminal fitted to the tubular terminal are joined to a conductive connection plate. The entirety of the connection plate and the ends of the electric wires are covered with a cover.

    Abstract: A battery lockout device is provided. The battery lockout device may include a safety plug body adapted to engage a power port of the battery. The battery lockout device may further include a rotating member operatively connected to the safety plug body, the rotating member engaging a battery lip or battery lip housing. The rotating member, in a first rotated position, can be locked in the first rotated position preventing access to the power port of the battery and preventing removal of the safety body plug from the battery. To effectuate locking the rotating member in the first rotated position, a keyed lock can be used to maintain the first rotated position of the rotating member relative to the safety plug body and the battery/battery housing lip. In this way, no energy from the battery may be discharged until removal/disengagement of the battery lockout device.

    Abstract: A work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site, includes a conductor rod housing concentric metal tubes for receiving electrical power from a contactor sliding on a power rail. A connection assembly includes lugs branching orthogonally from respective ones of the concentric metal tubes to an exterior of the conductor rod. The lugs include ball-and-socket joints configured to enable semi-spherical movement of the lugs at the exterior with respect to the joints. When attached to the contactor via conductive arms, the connection assembly provides multiple degrees of freedom for the conductor rod relative to the contactor and avoids detachment of the contactor from the power rail.
