Apparatus and Method for Connecting Electrical Units
First Claim
1. A method for connecting electrical units, comprising:
- determining that a first electrical connection is mated with a first electrical receptacle at a first point of connection;
determining that a second electrical connection is mated with a second electrical receptacle at a second point of connection, wherein the first second point of connection and the second point of connection are at opposite ends of an electrical cable;
initiating delivery of voltage through the electrical cable;
monitoring the voltage level of it source that outputs the delivery of the voltage; and
comparing the voltage level of the source with a predetermined value to generate a comparison value.
