• MANDATORY EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTo Extension cords to properly carry a 20-amp load
must be 12-gauge 3-wire size not to exceed 25 feet or check with the electrician.
Electrical
•Electricians will inspect your cords. If they do not pass inspection, you will be asked to either buy the correct cords or secure them another way.
•Smaller cords will overheat and cause safety problems.
Electrical
• Booths not using the required 12-gauge cords will be subject to having their electrical power disconnected.
• 20 amps will be adequate to operate one large usage appliance (roaster, coffee maker, skillet, toaster oven), and one small usage appliance (mixer, crock pot).
Electrical
• To determine the amount of power you will need, check the rating plates on appliances, and total their usage.o Should not exceed 20 amps or 2400 watts.o 1amp=120watts, etc.
•Exceeding the 20-amp pole capacity will cause the fuse protecting the outlet to blow and you will be without power and unable to operate until the fuse can be changed.
Electrical
• Do’s and don’t’s for safetyo DO NOT use tape to hold cords on to poles. Use twine or
rope to secure cords, if necessary. Tape leaves a sticky residue on poles and becomes a dirt catcher.
o Place cords around your booth in a manner they do not become a hazard to your workers or customers.
o Keep excess cord coiled or folded neatly so no one trips on it.
Electrical
• Do’s and don’t’s for safetyo Do not place cards on the sidewalk.o In case of rain, unplug your cords from the outlets.
Place cords up and out of the gutter area and cover areas where the cords are plugged together. Plastic bags work well for this.
