Abstract
A downstream connection block (GB) constituted by connector halves (FB1) is electrically connected in permanent manner to a moving assembly (EB). An upstream connection block (GA) is electrically connected in permanent manner to a stationary power supply block (BA) by flexible conductors (CA). A carriage (K) transfers the upstream block (GA) alternately between a front position (PB) providing electrical connection enabling the moving assembly to be powered, and a rear position (PA) remote from the downstream block (GB). The carriage separates from the upstream block when it is to leave said block in said front position. The invention is particularly applicable to electrically powering electromagnetic stirring inductors carried by an oscillating mold in a continuous steel casting installation.
