Patent ID: 7021961

Claim:
A wiring system for distributing three-phase power from a three-phase power supply, comprising: a power distribution cable assembly, comprising: a length of power cable having a first power conductor, a second power conductor, a third power conductor, a neutral conductor, and a ground conductor; a first power connector head operatively connected to a proximal end of the power cable, the first connector head having a first fixed array of terminals that includes a first power terminal, a second power terminal, a third power terminal, a neutral terminal, and a ground terminal, each respective terminal of the first array being fixed relative to each other in predetermined orientation and being operatively connected to the power cable such that the first power terminal of the first array is connected to the first power conductor, the second power terminal of the first array is connected to the second power conductor, the third power terminal of the first array is connected to the third power conductor, the neutral terminal of the first array is connected to the neutral power conductor, and the ground terminal of the first array is connected to the ground power conductor, the first fixed array of terminals being operatively connected to the three-phase power supply such that each respective phase of three-phase power supply is supplied to a separate power terminal of the first array of terminals; a second power connector head operatively connected to a distal end of the power cable, the second power connector head having a second fixed array of terminals that includes a first power terminal, a second power terminal, a third power terminal, a neutral terminal, and a ground terminal, each respective terminal of the second fixed array of terminals being fixed relative to each other in the same predetermined orientation as the first fixed array of terminals, wherein each respective terminal of the second fixed array of terminals is operatively connected to the power cable such that the neutral conductor is connected to the neutral terminal of the second array, the ground conductor is connected to the ground terminal of the second array, the first power conductor is connected to one power terminal of the second fixed array that is selected from a group consisting of the second power terminal and the third power terminal, the second power conductor is connected to one power terminal of the second array that is selected from a group consisting of the first power terminal and the third power terminal, the third power conductor is connected to one power terminal of the second array that is selected from a group consisting of the first power terminal and the second power terminal, and wherein each power terminal of the second array is connected to one power conductor.
