Split line and low voltage wire conduit and transformer box

摘要

Disclosed is a split conduit for separating line and low voltage wiring, wherein two wire or cable types are supported and do not interfere with one another along the conduit length. The conduit includes a rounded outer wall forming an enclosed cross section, wherein a partition is provided within the interior of the conduit that runs along its length to create a first and second pathway. The outer surface of the conduit is discretely marked based on line or low voltage, allowing a user to distinguish what wire type is in each pathway and to locate the partition without inspecting the wires or looking into the interior of the conduit. The split conduit is adapted to be connected to a split meter socket box having a divider for separating connection types, wherein wires from corresponding conduit chambers can be oriented appropriately to establish electrical connectivity within the meter box.

主权项

1. A split meter socket box, comprising:
a housing having an interior volume, an upper conduit, a lower conduit, and a line voltage securable door and a low voltage securable door enclosing said interior volume; said interior volume divided into a line voltage portion and a low voltage portion by a vertical divider wall; said conduits having an enclosed cross section having rounded sidewalls; a partition dividing said cross sections into first and second pathways and extending along said conduits entire length; said first and second pathway adapted to accept and shield different wire and cable types without contact therebetween or cross talk; said conduits having an exterior surface divided into a first and second surface by said partition connection to said sidewalls; said first and second exterior surface having differing means of visual reference thereon for indication of each pathway a location from an exterior perspective, said upper and lower conduit partition aligned with said divider wall and providing access to both of said portions therethrough; said line voltage securable door covering said line voltage portion, said low voltage securable door covering said low voltage portion; an electricity meter aperture through at least one access panel for connection to a meter socket box wherein said meter socket box being installed in said line voltage portion provides an efficient means of installing and inspecting separated wire types via said aperture of the meter without requiring separate conduits and separate box structures.
