Embodiment Construction

[0025] In general, example embodiments provide systems, methods, and apparatus for systems for testing electrical connectors. Although the example system for testing electrical connectors described herein is directed to refrigerated containers, example embodiments may be used with electrical connectors used for any of a number of other applications. Additionally, example embodiments may be used in one or more of any of several environments, including, but not limited to, hazardous (e.g., explosive) environments, indoors, outdoors, low temperature, high temperature, high humidity, marine environments, and low oxygen environment.

[0026] Additionally, the electrical connectors used with example systems and the electrical conductors coupled to the electrical connectors may vary in size (eg, voltage rating, current rating). Additionally, example embodiments described herein may be designed for use with any type of voltage (eg, alternating current (AC), direct current (DC)). For...

Abstract

An electrical connector testing system can include a first connector end and a controller coupled to first connector end. The system can also include an electrical load coupled to the first connectorend, where the electrical load includes an electrical cable and a second connector end coupled to an end of the electrical cable. The controller can determine whether an adverse electrical condition exists with respect to the electrical load before allowing power to flow between the first connector end and the second connector end.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 271,822, filed December 28, 2015, entitled "Systems and Methods For Testing Electrical Connectors" under 35 U.S.C. §119 and Priority to US Patent Application No. 15 / 206,522, filed July 11, 2016, entitled "Systems and Methods For Testing Electrical Connectors." The entire contents of both aforementioned applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to electrical connectors, and more particularly to systems, methods and apparatus for testing electrical connectors for reefer containers. Background technique [0004] Portable devices often contain components that require electrical power, and in some cases the required electrical power can be of relatively high voltage and current levels. Outlets have been devised to provide power to such portable devices. Often, receptacles are designed w...
