Abstract
A high-power, shielded, multi-pole electrical connector and method for installing such a connector are disclosed. The connector has separate structure for connecting each line of a multi-pole connector, with this structure housed within an electrically conductive outer shell. The inner connections are electrically insulated and shielded from the outer shell. A shielding trap is used to provide electrical contact between the outer shell of the connector and a shielding layer of a shielded electrical supply cable. The inner structure may be a male-female type or a lug-type connection. In a typical arrangement, a three-pole connector is used to provided a shielded connection to each of three power lines within a shielded cable.
