Create an OpenDSS Electrical Connector from linear geometry and power line properties, which include the wires and their geometrical arrangement.

### Inputs

* **geo \[Required]**

A line or polyline representing an Electrical Connector.

* **power\_line \[Required]**

Text for the ID of a PowerLine carried along the electrical connector, which will be looked up in the Power Lines library (the output from the "DF OpenDSS Libraries" component). This can also be a custom PowerLine object created using the Ladybug Tools SDK.

* **name**

Text to set the base name for the Electrical Connector, which will also be incorporated into unique ElectricalConnector identifier. If the name is not provided, a random one will be assigned.

### Outputs

* **connector**

A Dragonfly Electrical Connector object that can be used within an Electrical Network.
