Operator-safe electrical system enclosure

An electrical system enclosure comprising:

• an electrical housing unit that includes outside surfaces, the outside surfaces at least partially defining an outer boundary of the electrical housing unit and the outside surfaces at least partially enclosing a volume of space, the volume of space including one or more electrical components;
• a receptacle coupled to the outside surfaces or coupled to an extension that is coupled to a first surface of the outside surfaces, the receptacle configured to engage a connector component of a cable;
• a contactor within the volume of space, the contactor configured to close based, at least in part, on the receptacle engaging the connector component;
• and
• an energy supply component configured to cause energy to be transmitted through the receptacle and the cable to a device outside of the outside surfaces of the electrical housing unit based on the contactor closing.

A method for powering a device outside of an electrical housing unit, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication that a receptacle component has engaged with a connector component of a cable, the receptacle component being coupled to a first outside surface of outside surfaces of the electrical housing unit, the outside surfaces at least partially defining an outer boundary of the electrical housing unit and the outside surfaces at least partially enclosing a volume of space, the volume of space including one or more electrical components;
• based at least in part on the receiving of the indication, energizing an electrically-controlled switch within the volume of space of the electrical housing unit;
• and
• based at least in part on the energizing of the electrically-controlled switch, causing energy to be transmitted through the receptacle component and the cable to a device outside of the outside surfaces of the electrical housing unit.
