ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an overhead/underground combination service entrance device having a common enclosure that is divided by a center barrier into a first section for housing a watt-hour meter socket and a second section for housing a panel board containing a number of circuit breakers. The top panel of the common enclosure has a hole bringing electrical conductors into the first section from top of the common enclosure. A rain cap made from a suitable material is securely placed on the top panel. The rain cap has a hole therein that lies above the hole in the top panel so as to provide access to the first section from the outside. A hub closure plate is attached on the rain cap to cover sealingly cover the hole in the top panel. Means are provided for mounting the combination service entrance device on a flat surface and on vertical poles for temporary use. The combination device is preferably factory-assembled as a semi-flush-mounted unit and having the provisions for converting the device from a temporary service to permanent service. The combination service entrance device is installed for temporary use at the location where the unit eventually will be installed for permanent use. After sufficient construction has taken place, the rain cap is removed and the device is semi-flush-mounted in a wall for permanent use.
