Abstract

The present invention relates to: an electrical-power-feed connector connecting an electrical power source and an electrical-power-fed object, the electrical-power-feed connector having a configuration to form a signal path as a closed system, the signal path being to transmit a signal between the electrical-power-feed connector and the electrical power source, the signal having a value to vary depending on: an electrical connection status of the electrical-power-feed connector with the electrical power source, and an instruction to allow feeding of electrical power from the electrical power source to the electrical-power-fed object; and an electrical power source being feedable electrical power to an electrical-power-fed object by being connected with the electrical-power-fed object via the electrical-power-feed connector, the electrical power source having a configuration corresponding to the configuration of the electrical-power-feed connector.
