1. An electrical interlock system including:

  • a power takeoff device operable in a first state to transfer mechanical energy from an associated combustible engine to an associated electric motor and/or generator and operative in a second state to prevent the transfer of mechanical energy from the associated combustible engine to the associated electric motor and/or generator;

    a relay coupled to the power takeoff device, the associated electric motor and/or generator and an associated power source, wherein the relay includes a first switch and an energizable portion, such that when the energizable portion is receiving electrical power from the associated power source, the power takeoff device is in the first state and when the energizable portion is not receiving electrical power from the associated power source, the power takeoff device is in the second state.
