ABSTRACT:
A double-sided power distribution box and protective housing assembly provides convenient access to both sides of the power distribution box for servicing and inspection, while still protecting both sides of the power distribution box from contamination by solid or liquid materials. A lower housing is fixedly mounted to some structure and is connected to the power distribution box by a hinge. The power distribution box is pivotable about the hinge between a closed position wherein the power distribution box nests into the concave upper side of the lower housing so that the power distribution box lower surface is enclosed by the lower housing, and an open position wherein the power distribution box lower surface is exposed for servicing or inspection. An upper housing is also connected to the power distribution box by a hinge and openable to allow access to the electrical components on the upper surface of the power distribution box. The lower housing also provides a compartment which allows protected, interior mounting of supplemental electrical components such as an electronic module, an in-line connection or a splice box.
