Proposed functionality

In discussing how to better model UPS extended runtime systems I notice there is no power connector type that allows us to model the connection between the extended runtime enclosure and the UPS. APC does not publish specifics, but looking at the following we can see it is likely a variation of an ANEN SA50B8-H.
