  • Protective housing for an electrical device
    Patent number: 5731545
    Abstract: A protective housing for an electrical device includes a base and a cover. The base has a mounting station for the electrical device, and the cover can be installed over the base with the electrical device received inside the cover. The cover has an open bottom which permits air to circulate inside the cover in order to dry any condensation which might form on the electrical device. The cover is made from an air and water impermeable material. Should flooding occur, air trapped within the cover prevents floodwater from rising into the cover, thereby protecting the electrical device from immersion.
