Electrical safety and advice regarding supplementary
electrical protection
Commercial kitchens and food service areas are environments where electrical appliances may be located close to
liquids or operate in and around damp conditions or where the restricted movement for installation and service is
evident.
The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by a qualified, skilled, and
competent electrician and connected to the correct power supply suitable for the load as stipulated by the
appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements of the local electrical wiring
regulations and any safety guidelines.
We recommend:-
Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a Residual Current Device (RCD)
Fixed wiring appliances should also incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to
connect to, which is easily accessible for switching off and safe isolation purposes. The
switch disconnector must meet the specification requirements of IEC 60947.
Your attention is drawn to:-
BS 7671:2018 – Guidance Note 8 – 8.13: Other locations of increased safety risk
It is recognised that there may be locations of increased risk of electrical shock other than those specifically
addressed in Part 7 of BS 7671. Examples of such locations could include laundries where there are washing and
drying machines in close proximity and water is present, and commercial kitchens with stainless steel units, where
once again, water is present. Where, because of the perception of additional risks being likely, the installation
designer decides that an installation or location warrants further protective measures, the options available
includes:
Automatic Disconnection of Supply (ADS) by means of a residual current device having a residual
operating current not exceeding 30 mA;
Supplementary protective equipotential bonding; and
Reduction of maximum fault clearance time.
The provision of RCDs and supplementary bonding must be specified by the host organisation’s appointed
installation designer or electrical contractor and installed by a suitably qualified and competent electrician so as to
comply with Regulations 419.2 and 544.2
.
Warning! A 30mA RCD must protect the supply to this machine.
