  • Patent number: 9782851
    Abstract: A system and method for replaceable machine-mounted male input power connections includes a power connection unit that is at least partially arranged within a housing and configured to transfer power received from a power source to drive a welding process. The power connection unit includes an input configured to receive power from the power source, an output configured to deliver the power received at the input to drive the welding process, and a bus system, configured to connect the input and the output. The power connection unit also includes a male connector having a conductive post extending to a threaded cylindrical shaft. The male conductor forms at least a portion of the input or the output and extends from the housing through a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly includes a correspondingly threaded portion configured to engage the threaded cylindrical shaft of the male connector to the bus system.
