Extremely rarely Andy. TBE, I have never seen one. Usually the power folks set a pole and put a meter box with a bunch of 3 prong duplexes on it & everyone runs their personal drop cords to the pole. Really large sites might have 8 or 10 such poles. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
