Cable assembly for configuring power and control lines
Cabling of equipment at a work site may require lengthy or bulky lines or cables to be run from a power source. A system of cabling control to reduce the length and weight of cables or lines is disclosed. The system uses cable assemblies coupled to work site equipment to facilitate quick and easy coupling and decoupling of cables or lines. The disclosed cabling system may provide for more efficient set up or configuration of a location and operation of work site equipment.

PARAMETER MONITORING AND CONTROL FOR AN ELECTRIC DRIVEN HYDRAULIC FRACKING SYSTEM
An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. A controller associated with the single VFD and is mounted on the single pump trailer. The controller monitors operation parameters associated with an operation of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system as each component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system operates to determine whether the operation parameters deviate beyond a corresponding operation parameter threshold. Each of the operation parameters provides an indicator as to an operation status of a corresponding component of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system. The controller initiates corrected actions when each operation parameter deviates beyond the corresponding operation threshold. Initiating the corrected actions when each operation parameter deviates beyond the corresponding operation threshold maintains the operation of the electric driven hydraulic fracking system.

Temporary electrical panel
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for providing and monitoring a temporary electrical supply, which comprises a portable electrical panel with an array of circuit breakers, an array of electrical plugs for supplying a temporary source of electricity, and an array of amp and voltage meters that detect information needed for each corresponding phase. The Temporary Electrical Panel is supplied by a 50-amp cord and has a 40-amp main breaker. Each electrical plug is rated at 20 amps, tamper resistant, and GFCI protected, with a dedicated 20-amp breaker. The electrical plugs may also be color coded to differentiate which phase they are on. Additionally, the Temporary Electrical Panel comprises a plastic backing board with handle cut outs or a handle, which allow the Temporary Electrical Panel to be carried.
Switch gear transport that distributes electric power for fracturing operations
A system and a method for distributing electric power from a power source of electricity to power fracturing operations includes a plurality of circuit breakers, each circuit breaker including a first circuit breaker connector and a second circuit breaker connector, each of which outputs electric power to a corresponding transport at a first voltage level, a power source connector that receives electric power from a power source of electricity at the first voltage level, and a black start generator that generates electric power at a second voltage level and that supplies the generated electric power to start the power source of electricity.
ELECTRIC DRIVEN HYDRAULIC FRACKING OPERATION
Certain embodiments of the present application relate to a variable frequency drive (VFD) cabin for a pump configuration including a mobile trailer on which the VFD cabin is to be mounted. The VFD cabin generally includes a medium-voltage VFD and a ventilation system. In certain embodiments, the ventilation system is configured to generate an overpressure condition within the cabin to discourage the entry of dust and debris into the cabin. In certain embodiments, one or more components of the medium-voltage VFD are coupled to the floor of the cabin via a vibration damping system. In certain embodiments, the VFD cabin may be directly coupled to a chassis of the mobile trailer without an intervening suspension being provided between the VFD cabin and the chassis.
