THREE-DIMENSIONAL WORK VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF
A method of manufacturing a wiring harness for a work vehicle includes providing a tool board assembly having a tool board base, wire supports extending from the tool board base each having a wire holder on a top end thereof distal from the tool board base, and a plurality of I/O connector holders extending from the tool board base and each having an angularly adjustable connector mount. A wiring harness is provided having a main harness branch and a plurality of breakout harness branches extending off the main harness branch, with each breakout harness branch having an I/O connector at an end thereof. The wiring harness is configured, via arranging thereof on the tool board assembly, to arrange the breakout harness branches at a plurality of breakout angles relative to the main harness branch and at oblique-angle orientations that are non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the tool board base.
Electrical arrangement on an aircraft fuselage with an electrical consumer on the outside of the fuselage
An electrical arrangement on an aircraft fuselage has a fuselage component, an electrical consumer and a conductive electrical connection element. The connection element extends outwardly through an opening in the fuselage component and may have a bearing section on an inside or outside of the fuselage component that is arranged so as to tap or feed a voltage pole. The electrical connection element is electrically insulated from the opening and the fuselage component and is able to be connected to a voltage supply arranged on the inside. The electrical consumer is arranged on the outside of the fuselage component and is electrically connected to that part of the connection element projecting towards the outside of the fuselage.
Cable guides
In some examples, a cable guide can include a cable flange including a body, an arm extending a distance away from the body, a retention mechanism to retain the cable flange in a housing, and a first attachment mechanism. The cable guide can include a pull tab including a second attachment mechanism coupled to the first attachment mechanism, where the arm is disengaged from the housing when the cable guide is in a disengaged position, and the arm is engaged with the housing and the cable flange and the housing are to form a pathway when the cable guide is in an engaged position.
Cord Reel Variable Current Thermal Management and Damage Detection
A battery charging assembly includes a load management system, a charging cord with a battery connector, and circuitry for detecting thermal buildup. The load management system monitors the heat buildup in a coiled portion of the charging cord and issues a corresponding signal to control the current flowing through the cord.

Electrical user
An electrical user comprising: —a recessed box (7); —a frame (2) applied to the box (7); —a cover (3) for covering said frame (2). The cover (3) is removable from the frame (2) and comprises: i) a rechargeable electric battery (32); ii) an electrical device (31).
Cable gland for grounding a cable and method of use
A cable gland and methods for earthing, grounding, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland comprises a gland body, a plurality of extensions, an elastomer seal, a compression member configured to rotate the plurality of extensions towards to the elastomer seal, and an earthing insert mounted in the gland body configured to electrically connect a cable to a neutral and/or grounded conductor. The cable gland is configured to provide an air-tight seal between the exterior of the cable and the elastomer seal through rotation of the plurality of extension upon the elastomer seal. The cable gland may include an o-ring and nut to secure the cable gland to a planar body. The earthing insert comprises a grounding spring in electrical communication with a metallic portion of the cable and a neutral and/or grounded conductor.
CABLE SUPPORT
A cable support comprises an elongate supporting structure configured for attachment to a vertical surface. The cable support comprises a boom arm for supporting a cable wherein the boom arm is arranged to slide along at least a portion of the elongate supporting structure. The cable support further comprises a slidable pivot for supporting the boom arm. When deployed, the boom arm slides down along at least a portion of the elongate supporting structure as the boom arm rotates outwards from the supporting structure to provide lateral support for the cable. The slidable pivot supports the boom arm by sliding downwards along the length of the supporting structure during deployment of the boom arm.
In-vehicle backup power source control apparatus and in-vehicle backup power source apparatus
An increase in the capacity of a power storage unit is effectively suppressed. An in-vehicle backup power source control apparatus includes a discharge unit, a control unit, and a temperature obtaining unit. The control unit controls a discharge operation such that an output voltage of the discharge unit reaches a target voltage. The temperature obtaining unit obtains the temperature of a power storage unit. When the temperature obtained by the temperature obtaining unit is within a predetermined first temperature range, the control unit sets the target voltage to a first target voltage, and when the temperature obtained by the temperature obtaining unit is within a predetermined second temperature range that is higher than the first temperature range, the control unit sets the target voltage to a second target voltage that is higher than first target voltage.
System for detecting faults in electrical cabling
A main electrical cabling is subject to variations in ambient temperature over its length. A detection system for detecting fault in the main electrical cabling able to cause a serial arc, or heating within a connection, includes a monitor electrical cabling placed as a return loop alongside the main electrical cabling, a monitoring device, and a return cable bringing back electrical potential at the output of the main electrical cabling to the monitoring device. The monitoring device includes a controllable current generator injecting, into the monitor electrical cable, a current dependent on current flowing through the main electrical cabling. Electronic circuitry determines a difference in voltages at inputs and outputs of the main electrical cabling and of the monitor electrical cabling, to detect a potential fault in the main electrical cabling leading to a serial arc or increase in temperature. A fault in the main electrical cabling is detected despite variations in temperature.
