The system can also include an electrical load coupled to the first connector end, where the electrical load includes an electrical rim.) cable and a second connector end coupled to an end of the electrical cable. The controller can determine whether an adverse electric - al condition exists with respect to the electrical load before allowing power to flow between the first connector end and the second 5 connector end.
