Abstract

Abstract A mounting pedestal adapted to support an electrical meter and power box, and other utility service devices, in a compact and safe arrangement for their provision to a mobile home. A hollow, plastic post is supported in an upright position in the earth, and the power box and meter are attached to an L-shaped mounting bracket on the top of the post. The meter, power box and other devices are connected to a common ground, the common ground being at least partly embedded in the plastic post. In one preferred embodiment, the common ground includes a flat plate extending substantially throughout the length of the plastic post and is embedded therein. In a second preferred embodiment, the common ground includes a plurality of conductors extending through the plastic post, the conductors being connected by a common ground wire extending between them, which is disposed interiorly of the post. The supply wires for the utility devices extend within the plastic post from below ground level upwards to the associated devices.
