This is cross posted at another electrical forum where I've not gotten any responses. Hopefully, someone here has some insight to my questions.
I'm in Portland, Oregon, and there have been many food cart "pods" developed recently. Typically the lot owner will provide electrical service via a regular panel or a RV panel.
The one I am scheduled to work on next week is fed from the 120v/30a single pole breaker to a 8 space sub-panel via a 3 blade plug and SO (10/3) cord.
Customer wants a 120v water heater, small pump for the water system, and a few lights and receptacles. She says she is only going to power 2 dorm sized refrigerators, a space heater, some lights and a toaster oven. There is a 50a 2 pole breaker and receptacle to up size the sub-panel if needed.
My question is what are the wiring requirements for the interior of the cart. Do you wire it as a commercial kitchen or a RV? Are there special code provisions for something like a trailer mounted concession stand?
The plumber doesn't think a food cart in Portland is subject to any plumbing codes and the only inspections needing to done are by the health department. Can another Portland electrician speak to that?
Thanks.
