Abstract
An electrical connection component that is suitable for transmission of power with voltage levels greater than or equal to 1 kV and comprises a housing having an internal region, and having a machine cable end, a connection end, an electrical contact assembly, at least a portion of which is arranged at the connection end of the housing, the electrical contact assembly being arranged for electrically coupling with a further electrical contact assembly of another electrical connection component. The electrical connection component also comprises a removable member disposed at least partially within the housing at the connection end to provide a closure of an end portion of the housing to reduce contamination of the internal region. The housing and the removable member are arranged such that at least a portion of the internal region can be inspected when the removable member has been at least partially removed from the housing.
