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.

1. An electrical connection component for a machine cable, the electrical connection component being suitable for transmission of power with voltage levels greater than or equal to 1 kV, the electrical connection component comprising: a cylindrical polymeric housing having an internal region, and having a machine cable end and a connection end,an electrical contact assembly comprising at least three electrical pins each having a respective phase tube and earth connection, at least a portion of the electrical contact assembly being arranged at the connection end of the housing and being arranged for electrically coupling with a respective contact assembly of another connection component; anda removable inspection plug comprising at least three passages for receiving the at least three phase tubes and respective electrical pins therewithin, the inspection plug being disposed at least partially within the housing;wherein when the inspection plug is entirely removed from the housing, at least a portion of the internal region is exposed to enable inspection of at least a portion of the electrical contact assembly while the electrical pins and respective phase tubes are retained in position. 2. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the housing and the inspection plug are arranged such that the at least a portion of the internal region can be inspected when the inspection plug has been at least partially removed from the housing without having to disconnect components of the electrical contact assembly from a core of the machine cable. 3. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the inspection plug comprises a first plug element and a second plug element adapted to form-fit with one other. 4. The electrical connection component of claim 3, wherein the first plug element is disposed in proximity to the opening of the housing and the second plug element is disposed within the internal region of the housing. 5. The electrical connection component of claim 3, wherein the first and the second plug elements are independently removable from the housing. 6. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the inspection plug is adapted to receive at least a portion of the electrical contact assembly in a manner such that the electrical contact assembly electrically couples to the further electrical contact assembly, through the inspection plug, when the connection component is connected with the further electrical contact assembly. 7. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein, when the inspection plug is removed from the housing, a portion of the electrical contact assembly is made accessible for repair or replacement. 8. The electrical connection component of claim 7, wherein the portion of the electrical contact assembly made accessible for repair or replacement comprises a connection portion between the electrical contact assembly and a core of the machine cable. 9. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the inspection plug is adapted to receive at least a portion of the electrical contact assembly in a manner such that the electrical contact assembly electrically couples to the further electrical contact assembly, through the inspection plug, when the connection component is connected with the further electrical contact. 10. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the electrical contact assembly comprises at least one tube that is arranged for receiving an electrical conductor, the tube comprising a first material comprising an insulating material, the first material surrounding a length of the electrical conductor that has been received by the tube, and a second material comprising a conductive material arranged to be electrically couplable to an earth of the machine cable, the second material surrounding the first material substantially along a length of the at least one tube. 11. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a substantially cylindrically shaped body with an open end at the connection side. 12. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the inspection plug and the housing are shaped such that the inspection plug form-fits into the housing at the end portion of the housing and around the electrical contact assembly. 13. The electrical connection component of claim 1, wherein the housing and the inspection plug comprise a polymeric material. 14. The electrical connection component of claim 13, wherein the polymeric material comprises a high density polymeric material. 15. The electrical connection component of claim 1, further comprising a fastening arrangement for fastening the inspection plug to the housing. 16. The electrical connection component of claim 15, wherein the fastening arrangement comprises a plurality of bolts arranged so as to engage with the inspection plug through respective bore holes. 17. The electrical connection component of claim 15, wherein the fastening arrangement comprises a hinge arrangement whereby the inspection plug may be swung outwardly to reveal the at least a portion of the internal region for inspection while the inspection plug is still connected to the housing. 18. The electrical connection component of claim 13, wherein the inspection plug is arranged such that it can be removed by pulling along an axis of the electrical connection component.
