Abstract
An electrically powered hydraulic fracturing system includes pumps for pressurizing fracturing fluid, piping for carrying fracturing fluid, and field connections in obliquely oriented segments of the piping. The connections are between lead lines that couple directly to the pumps and lines carrying fluid to and from the pump; and are assembled and disassembled in the field. Operations personnel can more easily manipulate connections that are obliquely oriented than those that are horizontal or vertical.
