Best Practice for Outdoor Connection to AC Mains
In all circumstances and with any outdoor infrastructure the recommended practice is to connect to AC mains in
an order grade weather protected junction box. This needs to be implemented by a qualified resource in a manner
that is consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment. In many countries this will
require a licensed electrician to perform this operation.
In Japan, this would is a Certified Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The use of plugs with infrastructure equipment is suitable only for temporary installs where nuisance tripping of
GFI plugs is considered tolerable. Should it be desired to attach a plug to the cable assemblies then the installer is
expected to follow all directions provided with the plug end in a fashion consistent with local electrical code.
