ABSTRACT:
An exemplary device for providing electric service is disclosed. The exemplary device includes a housing, and a meter receptacle having a supply side an a load side. The meter receptacle can connect between a power source at the supply side and a facility at the load side, and can receive an electric load device. A switch connects to the meter receptacle and has a construction power position in which is disconnects the electrical connection between the facility and the power source, and a permanent power position in which it connects the facility and the power source. The device has one or more outlets that can connect to the power source at least when the switch is in the construction power position. The device also has a switch position indicator that can indicate whether the switch is in the construction power position or the permanent power position.
