<p>A distribution point for outdoor use for example for providing power for illuminations, has a structure (1), with spikes (2, 3 ) for pushing into the ground, with a hood (8) which, when closed, protects the supply panel (4) against water spray from all sides and from the top. A base plate (11) helps to protect against water ingress by creepage of splashing up from the ground. Since the hood (8) provides the necessary rain proofing, the outlet sockets on the distribution panel (4) may be of the conventional indoor type. The hood is arranged such that it is stable only in the closed position, for example it may be hinged in slots (5, 6) in the frame (1). The base may also carry a means for holding the outgoing cables.</p> |
