Abstract
An electrical floor box assembly includes a grounding bus to provide a grounding path for one or more electrical devices positioned in the floor box. The floor box includes a base and a top. The top is configured to be removably secured to the base to at least partially close an interior space of the base. The top includes an opening for providing access to a user to the interior space of the base when the top is secured to the base.
Claims20
An electrical floor box assembly comprising:
- a base including a bottom wall and a plurality of lateral walls extending from the bottom wall to at least partially define an interior space having at least one compartment;
- a top configured to be removably secured to the base to at least partially close the interior space, the top including an opening for providing access to a user to the interior space of the base when the top is secured to the base;
- and
- a grounding bus including at least one conductive bracket and a conductive bridge, the at least one conductive bracket configured for attachment to at least one electrical wire forming a grounding path with an electrical device positioned in the at least one compartment, the conductive bridge including a flange having an opening for receiving a fastener to secure the conductive bridge to the base.

An electrical floor box assembly comprising:
- a base including a bottom wall and a plurality of lateral walls extending from the bottom wall to at least partially define an interior space having at least one compartment, the base being made from a non-metallic material;
- a top configured to be removably secured to the base to at least partially close the interior space, the top including an opening for providing access to a user to the interior space of the base when the top is secured to the base, the top being made from a metallic material;
- a grounding bus positioned in the interior, wherein at least a portion of the ground bus extends vertically relative to the base to contact the top to provide a grounding path with an electrical device positioned in the at least one compartment and the top.
