Abstract

A power supply system for use with a power source. The system includes a safety circuit panel with a wall receptacle and a power cable with a safety ejector subsystem. The safety ejector subsystem includes a latch connected to the wall receptacle connector of the power cable and a tension line connected to the latch and to the power cable. When the power cable is placed in tension, such as when the power cable has not been disconnected from the wall receptacle in the ordinary way, the safety ejector subsystem forces the disconnection of the power cable from the wall receptacle, thereby ensuring that no live wiring is exposed to the environment.

Claims (12)

1 . A power supply system configured to supply power to a mobile system with a power supply receptor, the power supply system comprising:

a. a circuit panel arranged for connection to a power grid, the circuit panel including a wall receptacle; and

b. a power cord having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured for releasable connection to the wall receptacle and the second end is configured for connection to the power supply receptor, and wherein the power cord includes a safety ejector subsystem configured to cause disconnection of the first end from the wall receptacle under tension loading of the power cord.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the wall receptacle includes a six-hole port and the first end of the power cord includes a six-pin plug face connector compatible with the six-hole port of the wall receptacle.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a power cord storage box.

4 . The system of claim 3 , further comprising a power cable interface between the second end of the power cord and the power supply receptor.

5 . The system of claim 4 , further comprising an interface conduit between the power cord and the power cable.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the safety ejector subsystem includes a latch connected to a housing of the six-pin plug face and a tension line connected to the latch and to the power cord.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the tension line and the latch are made of steel.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile system is a refrigerated trailer.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the wall receptacle includes a sealing cover.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the sealing cover is hinged.
