Advice regarding supplementary electrical protection
Commercial bakeries, 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 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 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 electrical safety guidelines.
We recommend:
Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a residual current device (RCD)
Fixed wiring appliances 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 specifica-
tion requirements of IEC 60947.
Your attention is drawn to: BS 7671:2018 – Guidance Note 8 – 8.13 : Other locations of increased 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 installa-
tion 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! Separate electrical supplies must have their own 30mA Residual
Current Device (RCD).
Always fit a wall isolator to isolate the machinery completely. The
isolator must be visible, labeled, and easily accessible by an operator.
