Power pedestals with individual per side ground fault mains allow for service of breakers and receptacles without interrupting power to adjacent in-use power circuits and or boaters. In turn, ground fault mains eliminate the need for individual ground fault breakers tied to each receptacle. The power pedestals also allow for use of reverse Y adapters in the vessel to pedestal connection and allow for serviceability of single side or whole pedestal without disconnecting power to a string of pedestals on a loop feed circuits and can reduce overall cost of maintenance by eliminating costly individual ground fault breakers per-shore power connection.

A system for configuring an environment to provide mobile computing, the system including: one or more booms suspended from a soffit of the environment, each of the booms including a moveable arm moveable at least in part in a plane parallel to the soffit and the moveable arm having a proximal end connected to power and data cables attached to the soffit and a distal end where the power and data cables are suspended therefrom; and one or more switching hubs, each of the switching hubs are arranged to be removably mounted to a mobile station moveable within the environment, to be removably connected to the power and data cables suspended from the distal end of the moveable arm of one of the booms, and to be removably connected to at least one computer in the environment to distribute power and data to the at least one computer.

Systems and methods for retrofitting existing light and other poles to provide additional functionality in the form of one or more electric vehicle charging stations. Exemplary systems include EV charging station bases that are interposable between an existing pole and its associated buried anchor base, and include one or more EV charging stations that may be powered through the existing electrical wiring of the pole to be retrofit. Exemplary systems may offer additional functionality in the form of optional advertising, Internet connectivity, and other features.

An electrical extending outlet having a rigid body slidably extendable such that, in use, extends the outlet of a wall above a restrictive surface. The rigid body has a male connector on its lower end that is rotatable to allow the rigid body to be positioned in a number of positions relative to the wall outlet. On the upper end of the rigid body is at least one female outlet which a user can insert a male plug of an electrical device. The rigid body has a fastener to attach the rigid body to the wall.

An outlet enclosure for enclosing an electrical outlet including a door to cover the electrical outlet. The outlet enclosure includes a base plate and an outlet cover which wraps partially around the electrical outlet to allow access to the door. The outlet cover includes tracks extending in a vertical direction along an outer surface of the outlet cover. An outer cylindrical cover wraps completely around the outlet cover. The outer cylindrical cover slides vertically via the tracks over the outlet cover from a lowered position fully enclosing the outlet cover to a raised position exposing the outlet cover and the door to allow access to the electrical outlet so that a plug can be inserted into a socket of the electrical outlet. When the outer cylindrical cover is lowered, it protects the electrical outlet from exposure to the elements.

Provided in this disclosure is a standardized provisioning for an electrical vehicle charging station. A center pad is configured to be moved and placed on a horizontal surface at a desired location.
