Abstract
An improved electrical pedestal for a roof is provided. The electrical pedestal may include an electrical support pole raceway (ESPR) to guide electrical wiring through a roof and to provide structural support for the electrical pedestal. The electrical pedestal may include an integrated wiring transition box (IWTB) to guide electrical wiring to different electrical components on the electrical pedestal. The electrical pedestal may include electrical pedestal stability support bracket (EPSSB) to adjustably secure the pedestal to a roof without a need for additional roof penetrations. The electrical pedestal may also include a support plate configured to support and attach to one or more electrical components.
Claims20
An electrical pedestal assembly for a roof, comprising:
- an electrical support pole raceway (ESPR) comprising a hollow, rigid shell;
- a support plate having a first surface and an opposite, second surface;
- a first electrical component comprising an electrical disconnect component;
- and
- a second electrical component comprising an electrical disconnect component,
- wherein the first electrical component is mounted on the first surface of the support plate, and wherein the second electrical component is mounted on the second surface of the support plate.
An electrical pedestal assembly for a roof, comprising:
- an electrical support pole raceway (ESPR), comprising a hollow shell having a top portion including a top opening and a bottom portion including a bottom opening;
- a first electrical component comprising an electrical disconnect component;
- a threaded portion of the ESPR extending upward from the top portion of the ESPR and through an opening in a bottom wall of a housing of the first electrical component;
- and
- a pair of locking nuts engaged with the threaded portion,
- wherein the pair of locking nuts clamp the bottom wall therebetween, thereby mechanically securing the first electrical component to the ESPR.
An electrical pedestal assembly for a roof, comprising:
- an electrical support pole raceway (ESPR) comprising a hollow, rigid shell;
- a first electrical component comprising an electrical disconnect component, wherein the ESPR is coupled directly to a housing of the first electrical component;
- an electrical junction box attached to a bottom portion of the ESPR;
- and
- an electrical pedestal stability support bracket (EPSSB) removably attached to the bottom portion of the ESPR, wherein the EPSSB is further configured to attach to a plurality of struts for attachment of the EPSSB to an underside of a roof.
