A protective hood for outdoor electrical outlets or receptacles has a top surface, two side panels, and an angled bottom surface having an aperture. In one variant of the protective hood, the aperture in is configured to receive power cords for connection to an electrical outlet over which the protective hood has been mounted, such as an existing electrical outlet installed on a building wall or a power pedestal. In another variant of the protective hood, the aperture in the angled bottom surface is configured to allow an electrical outlet to be installed directly therein, but with the protective hood still being mountable over an electrical outlet on a building wall or power pedestal instead of having an electrical outlet installed in the aperture.

A power pedestal for electrical outlets is mountable to a mounting surface by means of a pedestal base incorporating stress-relief means that will allow the pedestal to break away either partially or completely from the base in response to an external force acting on the pedestal so as to induce stresses in the pedestal base exceeding a predetermined magnitude. The pedestal base may have one or more vertical elements to which the pedestal can be connected. Ground attachment points may be provided in one or more of the vertical elements, for protection against loss of pedestal grounding in the event of impact damage to the pedestal. The power pedestal may include protective apparatus comprising an angled hood having an angled top surface and an angled bottom surface having an aperture for mounting an electrical outlet.

An apparatus for supporting an underground main service entrance device and at least one secondary service entrance device and a kit for assembling such apparatus are disclosed. A preferred embodiment of such an apparatus comprises metal posts, metal bars, a first enclosure, at least one second enclosure, and at least one enclosure-connecting conduit. The bars of the embodiment are preferably coupled to the posts horizontally. The preferred first enclosure is configured to contain a main service entrance device. The preferred second enclosure is configured to contain a secondary service entrance device. The first enclosure is preferably attached to two of the bars near the top while the second enclosure is preferably attached to at least one of the bars below the first enclosure. The first and second enclosures are connected by the enclosure-connecting conduit. The components of the embodiment are preferably removably coupled and may be reconfigured when needed.

An in-ground enclosure for housing electrical components is provided. The in-ground enclosure can include an outer shell, a first compartment located within the outer shell, a second compartment located within the outer shell, an upper panel comprising a first compartment opening for accessing the first compartment and a second compartment opening for accessing the second compartment, a dividing wall separating the first compartment from the second compartment, a first compartment cover adapted for removably sealing the first compartment opening, and a second compartment cover adapted for removably sealing the second compartment opening. A telecommunications base station is also provided. The telecommunications base station can include an in-ground enclosure and a cellular base station, which can include an antenna coupled to signal processing equipment and a power supply.

An enclosure for electrical equipment is provided. The enclosure includes a frame, a first plate, and a first member coupled to the frame and configured to receive the first plate. The first plate is configured to receive a transformer, movable between a first position and a second position, at least partially supported by the first member when the first plate is in the first position, and offset from the first member when the first plate is in the second position.

The invention relates to a switchgear cabinet for a wind power plant, having a U-shaped base plate, comprising a bottom and two side parts, two end plates connected to the base plate, and a cover, by means of which the switchgear cabinet is closed, wherein the end plates are lengthened beyond the side parts or longitudinal sides formed by the latter, or the end plates are each set back at a distance with respect to an outer edge of the base plate, such that the base plate and/or the end plates form tabs projecting outward, which are useful for the fixing of holders.

A node pedestal includes a box configured to house communication system components, a housing configured to be removably coupled with the box and having opposite end walls, a pair of supports extending from the box at opposite ends of the box, and a locking mechanism configured to latch the housing with the box. The locking mechanism includes a latch rotatingly mounted to a first one of the end walls and a catch extending from a first one of the supports in a direction toward a second one of the supports, and the latch is configured to engage the catch to secure the housing to the box.
