Abstract
An electrical device can have an associated wiring box for connecting the electrical device to an external electrical supply, for example to utility power. The wiring box can include an opening suitable for worker access, so that a worker can connect or disconnect the electrical device from electrical power. Wiring connectors can be rotatably mounted in the wiring box for making the electrical connection. The wiring connectors can be rotated to one orientation to enhance worker access through the opening, for example during installation, and to another orientation for long-term operation.
