ABSTRACT:
A temporary connect enables a structure to receive electrical power via a simple extension cord before a utility meter is installed. The temporary connect incorporates the form factor of a standard power meter and mounts to the meter cabinet. It includes a standard male connector or breaker, fuse or lug recessed within a base. A female end of an extension cord may be plugged into the male connector, and the opposite end may be plugged into a temporary meter pole or other power source. The temporary connect connects the prongs of the connector to the load leads of the meter cabinet, but isolates the connector and load prongs from the line leads. The structure thereby can easily receive power for testing the circuits, lights, and other devices. When construction is complete, the temporary connect can be easily removed and replaced with a permanent power meter.
