POWER PEDESTAL AND SYSTEM EMPLOYING SAME
First Claim
1. A power pedestal for providing power to a vehicle and a structure disposed separate from said vehicle, said power pedestal comprising:
- a housing comprising an exterior, a first end structured to be fixed to a platform, and a second end disposed opposite and distal from the first end;
a meter socket assembly housed by said housing;
at least one first branch circuit breaker electrically connected to said meter socket assembly within said housing, each of said at least one first branch circuit breaker being structured to be electrically connectable to said vehicle by a corresponding one of a number of first electrical conductors;
a second main circuit breaker electrically connected to said meter socket assembly within said housing, said second main circuit breaker being structured to be electrically connectable to said structure by a second electrical conductor; and
a meter electrically connected to said meter socket assembly, said meter being structured to measure electric energy consumed by said vehicle and said structure.

Abstract
A power pedestal provides power to a vehicle and a structure disposed separate from the vehicle. The power pedestal includes a housing having an exterior, a first end fixed to a platform, and a second end disposed opposite and distal from the first end. A meter socket assembly is housed by the housing. At least one first branch circuit breaker and a second main circuit breaker are electrically connected to the meter socket assembly within the housing. At least one of the at least one first branch circuit breaker is electrically connected to the vehicle by a corresponding one of a number of first electrical conductors. The second main circuit breaker is electrically connected to the structure by a second electrical conductor. A meter, which is electrically connected to the meter socket assembly, measures electric energy consumed by the vehicle and the structure.
