Claim 18:
19. A method to exchange a first component of a hydraulic fracturing unit for a second component in the hydraulic fracturing unit, the method comprising:
disconnecting the first component from one or more other components of the hydraulic fracturing unit, the first component being connected to a first section frame positioned to support the first component, the first component and the first section frame at least partially defining a first component section;
disconnecting a first component electrical assembly from the hydraulic fracturing unit, the first component electrical assembly being connected to the first component section to provide one or more of electrical power, electrical controls, or electrical monitoring components associated with operation of the first component, the disconnecting of the first component electrical assembly from the hydraulic fracturing unit includes disconnecting the hydraulic fracturing unit from one or more first quick-connect electrical couplers connected to the first section frame, the one or more first quick-connect electrical couplers being connected to the first component electrical assembly;
disconnecting the first section frame from a platform supporting one or more components of the hydraulic fracturing unit;
separating the first component section from the platform;
positioning a second component section at a position of the platform previously occupied by the first component section, the second component section having a second section frame and the second component supported by the second section frame;
connecting a second component electrical assembly to the hydraulic fracturing unit, the second component electrical assembly being connected to the second section frame and positioned to provide one or more of electrical power, electrical controls, or electrical monitoring components associated with operation of the second component, the connecting of the second component electrical assembly to the hydraulic fracturing unit includes connecting the hydraulic fracturing unit to one or more second quick-connect electrical couplers connected to the second section frame, the one or more second quick-connect electrical couplers being connected to the second component electrical assembly; and
connecting the second component to the one or more other components of the hydraulic fracturing unit;
wherein the first component comprises a hydraulic fracturing pump, and wherein disconnecting the first component from the one or more other components of the hydraulic fracturing unit comprises disconnecting a driveshaft of the hydraulic fracturing pump from an output shaft of a transmission.
