OUTDOOR FLOOR BOX ENCLOSURE

摘要

An outdoor enclosure provides weather protection for electrical equipment. More particularly, an outdoor enclosure having a cover flush with the floor or the ground and an interior space beneath the floor or ground is provided. The interior space is maintained in a water-tight condition when the cover of the enclosure and a door within the cover are closed and a drain is provided in the floor of the interior space to allow water to drain from the interior space if and when such water enters the enclosure. Electrical cables and a receptacle with ground fault protection are stowed within the enclosure and pulled through the door in the cover when a user needs access to electrical power via the receptacle.
