Good Morning Everyone,

I have a (1) 3-phase 60 amp oven, (1) 3-phase 20 mixer, and (1) 3-phase 30 amp mixer

Can I use the cord coming with this equipment and install the 3 disconnects(hardwire)? These three commercial kitchen equipment has a cord with the right side of the conductor and the ground wire coming from the factory.

Please I greatly appreciate your advice.

Best Regards,

YT
 
As I read 400.10, if you use the cord you will need to have an cord & plug connection and under 210.8(B) the receptacles will need to be GFCI protected.
 
If you are on the 2020 or 2023 code make sure you take a look at 210.8(B) before deciding to use a cord and plug connection.

Sounds to me like he's saying there is a cord without a plug and he wants to put a disconnect on the wall and hardwire the cord into it?

Usually if it has a cord from the factory, it is a portable piece of equipment that has wheels. Usually to be moved for cleaning, so the customer probably wants it plug connected.
 
I built a pizza shop last year that has this same equipment, but all on fixed floor stands and did not come with a cord. We installed disconnects with seal tight whips.

If they’re on wheels, they likely want it cord-and-plug. I’ve worked with some smaller ovens that are on rolling stands. A mixer that size is likely going to be a stand mixer.

The issue on your oven if it is portable will be the 60/3 GFCI. Square D is the only manufacturer that offers a miniature 60/3 GFCI breaker, so if you have any other brand, you will have to use an external GFCI device feeding the receptacle, and they are about $1k.

I would consult the customer and the manufacturer as to whether the cords can be removed and maintain warranty.

Thank you! I will contact the manufacturing equipment for hard wiring equipment and fasten in place all equipment. Many Thanks
 
If removable cord and plug, would they need to be twist-lock type?
 
We put in GFI's to keep you from getting shocked, then, require cord and plug disconnects to increase the chances that you'll get shocked.
