Abstract
An electrical interface provides a permanent electrical facility electrically connected to a temporary electrical facility which provides electrical utilities to construction sites which can be activated by a non-utility qualified individual. The electrical interface generally comprises (a) permanent electrical facilities that provide electrical power to a residential neighborhood; and (b) temporary electrical facility electrically connected to the permanent electrical facilities. The temporary electrical facility provide electrical utilities to construction sites which can be activated by a non-utility qualified individual(s). The temporary electrical facility further comprises a non-conductive housing and a base, electrical connectors, and a electrical converter. The nonconductive housing fits over and doses the base. Alternate temporary electrical facilities comprise a pole, electrical connectors, and an electrical converter. Electrical connectors are positioned on an exterior surface of the non-conductive housing or pole. The electrical connectors having a connection switching element, which is familiar to an electrician and easily activated. The electrical converter converts the first interface wiring to the second interface wiring. The first interface wiring electrically connects the electrical converter to the permanent electrical facilities, whereas the second interface wiring electrically connects the connection switching element of the electrical connectors to the electrical converter. Preferred processes of installing the electrical interface generally comprise digging a trench and placing the conduit holding the electrical cable therein. And, if necessary, the additional step of digging a hole may be added to hold the preferred embodiment. Also, if needed, the existing cover is removed and replaced with an appropriate cover for the particular structure.
