A hinged dead front for an enclosure of an electrical panelboard, said enclosure defined by a rear panel, an operative left side panel, an operative right side panel and a door, wherein the rear panel of said enclosure is provided with hinged mounting bracket assemblies on which said dead front is hingeably mounted; and latch stopping bracket assemblies configured to engage with locking elements fitted on said dead front.

An electrical panel adapter for an enclosure that is formed of at least one panel includes a main unit having a front portion and a rear portion. The rear portion is positioned inside the enclosure and includes a first plurality of electrical connections adapted to connect to electrical wires and/or equipment located inside the enclosure. The front portion extends through an aperture in the at least one panel and includes a second plurality of electrical connections adapted to connect to one or more electrical devices located outside the enclosure for measurement of both voltage and current inside the enclosure. The second plurality of electrical connections are electrically coupled to the first plurality of electrical connections. The electrical panel adapter enables electrical devices outside the enclosure to be electrically coupled to the electrical wires and/or equipment inside the enclosure without requiring the enclosure to be opened.

An interlocking external actuator for accessing an electrical panel board having a circuit breaker inside a housing that is covered by an enclosure door, wherein the actuator includes a handle, a first shaft, a second shaft and an interlocking mechanism, wherein the second shaft engages the first shaft in a closed state of the door and thereby facilitates switching the circuit breaker to ON and OFF states by angularly displacing the handle, wherein the interlocking mechanism is biased to engage in pushing the door into a closed state, wherein the circuit breaker is switched from an ON state to an OFF state by displacing the handle from a first angular position to a second angular position, and wherein the interlocking mechanism is disengaged through displacement of the handle further to a third angular position and thereby allow opening of the door.

A simulated protected loads panel system for managing energy consumption and obviating the need to install a physical protected loads panel in conjunction with an energy storage system, comprising a controller, in operable communication with electrical current and/or voltage sensors and relays, which is configured to control the amount of and/or distribution of electrical power from a source of electrical power to an electrical load based on user preference, energy storage system charge, and/or available or anticipated power generation and/or usage.

There is disclosed a rackmount case for the accommodation of optical equipment. The case comprises a metal housing comprising an open end, and a door comprising dimensions substantially the same as the open end for selectively opening and closing the open end, the door comprising a structural member made from metal and hinged to the housing along a long edge of the open end, and an aesthetic member made from plastic. The aesthetic member at least partially covers the structural member and comprises a one-way attachment comprising a plurality of protrusions and the structural member comprises a plurality of recesses for receiving the protrusions, each of the protrusions comprising a deformable head for engaging with a shoulder of a respective one of the recesses to hold the aesthetic member relative to the structural member.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for providing and monitoring a temporary electrical supply, which comprises a portable electrical panel with an array of circuit breakers, an array of electrical plugs for supplying a temporary source of electricity, and an array of amp and voltage meters that detect information needed for each corresponding phase. The Temporary Electrical Panel is supplied by a 50-amp cord and has a 40-amp main breaker. Each electrical plug is rated at 20 amps, tamper resistant, and GFCI protected, with a dedicated 20-amp breaker. The electrical plugs may also be color coded to differentiate which phase they are on. Additionally, the Temporary Electrical Panel comprises a plastic backing board with handle cut outs or a handle, which allow the Temporary Electrical Panel to be carried.

A boot for preventing unintended contact with live electrical components of a medium voltage control device. The boot having cover for accessing mechanical fasteners used to connect electrical conductors to control equipment when periodic maintenance is required.

A kit includes one or more pairs of matching color-coded attachment members and tags. The attachment member is configured to be selectively retained to an electrical wire entering an electrical service panel. The corresponding color-coded tag is configured to be attached, such as through magnetic means, to a door of the electrical service panel. The tag includes pre-printed text thereon, which provides descriptive information regarding the electrical circuit formed by the wire to which the attachment member is associated. As such, the color-coding allows a homeowner or technician to easily identify which electrical circuit is controlled by a particular electrical circuit breaker.

Aspects herein are directed to an electrical system enclosure. The electrical system enclosure can include an electrical housing unit that includes one or more electrical components. The electrical system enclosure can further include a receptacle coupled to an outside surface associated with the electrical housing unit. The receptacle may be configured to engage a connector component of a cable. The electrical system enclosure can further include a contactor within the electrical housing unit. The contactor may be configured to energize based at least in part on the receptacle engaging the connector component. The electrical system enclosure may include an energy supply component configured to cause energy to be transmitted through the receptacle and the cable to a device outside of the electrical housing unit based on the contactor energizing.

An electronic device includes a housing defining an exterior shape of the electronic device, a processor, a power supply structured to receive line power and to convert the line power for use by the electronic device, a storage unit structured to store data, and a number of data interfaces structured to receive a data connection. The electronic device has a particular form factor that is compatible with positions in a circuit breaker receiving area of a load center. The electronic device is structured to provide the functionality of at least one of a set-top box, a network data interface, a telephone base station, a security system hub and a home controller.
