Abstract
An apparatus for an electrical equipment enclosure with tubular weatherproofing of electrical connections is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, one or more weatherproofing tubes attached to the lid incorporating one or more conduits are configured to serve as passageways for one or more electrical lines which need to stay weatherproof, watertight, and/or splash-proof from external elements. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the invention, one or more clusters of electrical connectors inside the electrical equipment enclosure receive a portion of the one or more electrical lines passing through the one or more conduits and the one or more weatherproofing tubes. The apparatus as embodied by the present invention provides a reliable, durable and cost-effective weatherproof electrical equipment enclosure design.
