A modular structure supports elevated rail segments for delivering electrical power to a moving work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site. Opposite ends of a roadside barrier contain complementary tubular couplers arranged vertically, one having a first diameter supported by an arm and the other having a larger second diameter and a vertical slot. Couplers on adjacent barriers can be mated together concentrically along a central axis. The mated couplers help restrict longitudinal displacement, lateral displacement, slope change, and lateral rotation between adjacent barriers during placement. One barrier may be used as a temporary alignment structure to position barriers spaced alternatingly along a haul route for the work machine.

The invention relates to the technical field of current compensation, and discloses a current compensation strategy and a compensation system for improving the direct current fast charging rate of an electric automobile. According to the scheme, the total current of a high-voltage loop and the input current of a battery are detected in real time, the dynamic load current difference value is calculated, and the battery health state and historical charging data are combined; and the charging pile request current value is adaptively adjusted to counteract the shunting influence of the load power. Meanwhile, a closed-loop feedback regulation mechanism is adopted, a compensation coefficient is corrected in real time through a PID algorithm, and the stability of the charging current is ensured. When the power of the charging pile is limited, the system dynamically reduces unnecessary loads (such as an air conditioner and a heater) according to a preset priority request, and the charging power of the battery is guaranteed preferentially. The charging rate is improved (the charging time is shortened by 10%-15%), the adaptability of the system to dynamic load fluctuation is enhanced, and the service life of the battery is prolonged.

A lower end of a dielectric post positioned in one of the tubular couplers has opposing dielectric plates at an upper end. A top edge of each plate has a creepage concavity between a pair of rail recesses. Another dielectric post of similar configuration is positioned in the other of the tubular couplers.

A slidable current collector has an array of terminals with carbon brushes for contacting conductor rails to deliver electrical power to a moving work machine. The terminals have upper sections with a conductive post, lower sections that include a reservoir of liquid metal, and bladders that connect the upper sections with the lower sections. Magnets surround outer shells of the terminals. Fluid above a threshold pressure fed into the bladders holds the upper sections apart from the lower sections and forces the magnets away from the conductor rails. Fluid below the threshold pressure allows the magnets to clamp the terminals to the conductor, lowers the conductive post into the liquid metal, and urges the carbon brushes against the conductor rails. The bladders provide a fluid suspension distributed across the array of terminals, enabling consistent electrical contact and wear for the carbon brushes.
