Abstract
A rugged, impact-resistant electrical junction box, particularly for installation in wet environments, such as at a swimming pool, includes a non-metallic, non-conductive base part defining a cavity in which electrical wires can be terminated, and defining an opening to this cavity. A cover part is provided to close the opening of the base part. A grounding bushing member provides for electrically bonding of the junction box to metallic electrical conduits. The base part also defines a plurality of through bores through which electrical wires may pass upwardly into the cavity, and a depending tubular boss portion at each of these through bores for connection of metallic or non-metallic electrical conduits. Internally of the cavity, the base part defines a strain relief structure above and aligning with each of the plural through bores. This base part also includes an electrical bonding bar providing for plural neutral and ground conductors to be secured and mutually electrically interconnected. The bonding bar is removable from the base part to ease the connection of electrical wires to this bonding bar.
