    Abstract: A work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site, includes a conductor rod housing concentric metal tubes for receiving electrical power from a contactor sliding on a power rail. A head-end interface of the conductor rod proximate the work machine includes metallic rings spaced apart and extending circumferentially around the head-end interface. Bores pass longitudinally through the head-end interface and into cavities within the conductor rod between the concentric metal tubes. The metallic rings enable the delivery of electrical power radially from the conductor rod for powering the work machine, while the bores enable the delivery of pneumatic power longitudinally into the conductor rod for powering axial movement of the conductor rod.

    Abstract: A cable comprising that includes an elongated conductor operable to transmit electrical energy at medium or high AC voltages. The conductor has a core including a first plurality of wires of a first conductive material, and an outer layer surrounding the core including a second plurality of wires of a second conductive material. The first conductive material has a deeper characteristic skin depth than the second conductive material. The total cross sectional area of the first and second plurality of wires is at least about 2500 kcmil.

    Abstract: An electrical connection component for a machine cable is described. The electrical connection component is suitable for transmission of power with voltage levels greater than or equal to 1 kV and comprises at least one electrical conductor arranged for electrically coupling with a further electrical conductor of another electrical connection component. The electrical connection component comprises a housing having an internal region, and having a machine cable end, a connection end and a plurality of electrically insulating components positioned within the housing, at least one of the electrically insulating components being arranged so as to form-fit with a further one of the electrically insulating components. A portion of the internal region of the housing that is located at the connection end of the housing, and that would not otherwise be filled with the at least one electrical conductor and/or an associated flame path, is filled by the electrically insulating components.
