PowerBox
A portable power distribution box that takes one feed and splits it into four weatherproof outlets, each on its own 15A breaker, all behind a 30mA GFCI-type main. A digital meter on the front counts the kilowatt-hours running through it. Brand new, and a simple way to run power on a job site, in a shop, at a campsite, or off an inverter or generator.

One feed in, four protected outlets out.
The PowerBox is a portable power distribution box. You feed it from one source, the grid, a generator, or the 120V output of an inverter, and it hands you four weatherproof outlets, each on its own 15A breaker. The whole box sits behind a 30mA earth-leakage main, the same kind of GFCI protection a wet-location outlet gives you, so a fault trips the box instead of a person. A digital meter on the front counts the kilowatt-hours that pass through.
Four breakered outlets
Four NEMA 5-20 outlets, each on its own 15A breaker. Trip one and the other three keep running, so you are not daisy-chaining power strips off a single cord.
GFCI-type main
A 30mA earth-leakage main protects the whole box. On a damp job site or out at a campsite, that is the difference between a tripped breaker and a shock.
Built-in kWh meter
The front meter counts the energy that passes through. Handy for sub-metering a shop, a shed, a rental, or a guest cabin, or just seeing what a tool actually draws.
Weatherproof build
An IP54 enclosure and IP44 flip-cap outlets keep rain and dust out. Screw it to a wall or grab the handle and take it with you.
Runs off your inverter
Feed it from an inverter and you get four protected, metered circuits straight off your battery bank, without wiring up a full sub-panel.
Wire it once
One cord in through the cable gland, four circuits out, all the protection built in. Land the feed once and it is ready wherever you set it down.
The PowerBox suits anywhere you need to split one power source into a few protected circuits: a job site, a workshop, a garage, a barn, an event, or a campsite power post. For the off-grid crowd, it turns the 120V output of an inverter or a generator into four metered, GFCI-protected outlets without building out a breaker panel.
It is 120V single-phase on 15A circuits, sized for tools, lights, pumps, chargers, and the usual plug-in loads. It is not a service panel and will not feed a whole house. Have a licensed electrician land the incoming feed, keep it inside its IP54 rating, and it will earn its keep for years.

EG4 Ethernet Adapter
This is EG4's wired monitoring adapter (part EG4SP18KDLETH), the small box that carries your inverter's data to the EG4 app over a network cable instead of WiFi. It plugs into the inverter's monitoring port, and a standard RJ45 Ethernet line runs from the cable gland on its body back to your router. Three status lights sit on the face so you can read the connection at a glance: INV for the link to the inverter, a cloud light for the reach out to the EG4 portal, and IP for its network address. There is a reset button, and the unit mounts to the inverter with its built-in faceplate. It works across the EG4 inverter line, the 3k Off-Grid being the exception. The reason to run this over the WiFi dongle is that a cable does not drop. If the inverter lives in a garage, a shop, or a back corner where the WiFi is thin, a wireless adapter that keeps falling offline leaves gaps in your history and an app that shows nothing right when you want a look. Wire it straight to the router and the link stays up, so the numbers keep coming in. If there is a network jack anywhere near the inverter, this is the steadier way to keep eyes on the system.
