Abstract: A mounting pedestal supports an electrical meter and power box and other utility supply 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 ground or in concrete, and the power box and meter are attached to an L-shaped mounting bracket atop the post. The meter, power box and other utility supply devices are connected to a common ground contained in the post. The common ground includes a ground wire extending interiorly of the post and a shared electrical connector contained in the post, connected to the ground wire and the ground wires of each of the utility supply devices.

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.

Abstract: A mounting pedestal adapted to support an electrical power box, an electric meter, a telephone box, a television jack, and a gas meter operatively in a compact arrangement for providing utility services to a mobile home. A hollow, rectangular metal post is supported in an upright position in the ground, extending thereabove, and supports an L-shaped mounting bracket on the top thereof. The bracket provides the means for supporting the power box and the meter with the telephone box, television jack and gas meter carried by the post at positions below the bracket. A ground wire is disposed within the post to connect the box, the bracket and meter to an underground grounding means.
