Abstract
A support rack for mounting at least one electrical current transformer upon an electrical utility pole, including a bracket for each current transformer, a hollow arm connecting each bracket to a hollow junction box having a depending conduit connection to an electrical meter mounted on the same pole, so that one set of wires from the current transformers are led through the arms and the junctions box to the meter at a substantially lower secondary voltage than the secondary wires leading from the current transformers to the customer service lines.
Claims8
A support rack for mounting at least one transformer upon an electrical utility pole comprising:
- (a) a pole bracket adapted to be mounted upon a utility pole,
- (b) a hollow junction box having side walls and a bottom wall, said junction box being fixed to said pole bracket,
- (c) a horizontal conductor opening through one of said side walls,
- (d) an elongated hollow arm having open proximate and remote ends,
- (e) said proximate end being received within said horizontal opening,
- (f) a transformer support bracket,
- (g) means fixing said transformer support bracket upon the remote end portion of said arm so that said remote end remains open,
- (h) a meter wire opening in the bottom wall of said junction box,
- (i) said arm and said junction box receiving at least one electrical conductor wire from a transformer mounted on said transformer support bracket and extending through said arm, said junction box and down through said meter wire opening to a meter mounted on said utility pole.
