Is a cord and plug residential oven considered a permanently connected appliance by 422.31? The wattage would certainly qualify under 422.31, but being it is cord and plug, would this further require a disconnect? Not to be short but I'm looking for the technical answer not the "how it's done here" thing. I know how it's done locally (state I mean), but in this case local rule doesn't apply.
Secondly is there a specific requirement that I've missed for a residential oven, stove or rangetop in a kitchen open to residents of a nursing home that would specify a seperate locking disconnect per NEC?
The cord an plug issue or disconnect issue is to protect a serviceman, not the end user from burns; The cord and plug also seems to me to meet the requirement for a diconnect IMO. Is there a seperate requirement for residential cooking appliances located in a commercial setting? So far I've been unable to find one although I've been cited for this disconnect not being installed.
I've never seen a requirement for the disconnect unless 422.31 includes plug and cord appliances.
If 422.31 does mean to include an oven, rangetop or stove, wouldn't a simple locking breaker suffice to meet this if not in plain sight?
