electric meter box, electrical mains meter box Explanation: "Meter box", About 781,000 results (also Google image results) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1202&bih=73... ( http://tinyurl.com/6grrcqc ) Even a shorter version "meter box" would be enough because it is unlikely that gas or water meters would be placed many in one box. But the original text was probably not written by/for engineers/technicians, therefore you can spell it out quite literally "electrical mains meter box", or "electric meter box" (Google: About 1,130,000 results). http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mains "The domestic electrical power supply." "Input" would sound awkward (and "mains" is the standard term), because a residential building normally can only input electrcity, not output. Example sentence(s):
