Abstract
A power distribution center for use at marinas, trailor camps and the like includes a housing adapted to receive power feed cable from an external power source, the cables being connected to terminal blocks mounted within the housing and to which are connected terminals of electrical receptacles mounted within the housing. The housing includes a cover which when opened provides access to the receptacles. A light source including a diffusing lens mounted within the upper portion of the housing is effective to illuminate the front portion of the housing both when the cover is closed and when it is opened. The housing and cover are of a corrosion resistant synthetic material, and internal metallic brackets and plates which mount the terminals, receptacles and light source are electrically connected to the ground terminal which provides a unitized ground on a single ground lug.
