Claim 12:
13. A system comprising:
a power supply module;
a power enclosure electrically coupled to the power supply module;
a power connector that:
is electrically coupled to a power cable that facilitates carrying electric current to the power supply module via the power enclosure; and
is dimensioned to mate with the power enclosure; and

at least one power switch that:
is electrically coupled to the power enclosure;
is configured to be engaged by at least one feature of the power connector while the power connector is fully mated with the power enclosure;
when engaged by the at least one feature of the power connector, enables electric current to flow from the power connector to the power supply module via the power enclosure;
changes from a state in which the at least one feature of the power connector is engaged to an additional state in which the at least one feature of the power connector is not engaged; and
upon changing to the additional state, interrupts the flow of electric current from the power connector to the power supply module via the power enclosure to prevent electrical arcing as the power connector is removed from the power enclosure.
