Abstract
An electrical interface is comprised of permanent electrical facilities and a temporary electrical facility. The permanent electrical facilities provide electrical power to a residential neighborhood. The temporary electrical facility electrically is connected to the permanent electrical facilities and provides electrical utilities to construction sites. The temporary electrical facility is comprised of a first housing, at least one electrical breaker, and at least one electrical plug. The electrical breaker and the electrical plug are positioned in and enclosed within the first housing is such a manner that the at least one electrical breaker and the at least one electrical plug can be accessed from a position exterior to the first housing. The at least one electrical breaker electrically is coupled to the permanent electrical facilities and to the at least one electrical plug in such a manner as to selectively switch power to and from the at least one electrical plug. A process comprises the following steps: (a) locating and positioning a stand alone electrical facility in proximity to a permanent electrical facility, (b) digging a hole in which to place a first end of the stand …
