How is the power supplied to the 20 Qt mixer according to the BCES food service drawings?

The power supplied to the 20 Qt mixer is described as a cord-and-plug connection to a floor-mounted duplex receptacle. This configuration is typically used in commercial kitchens and food service environments for several reasons.

A floor-mounted duplex receptacle allows for easy access to power for equipment that may need to be moved or repositioned, providing flexibility in workspace layout. It also keeps the power outlet easily accessible, which is essential in a busy kitchen setting where convenience and safety are paramount.

Moreover, this setup helps reduce tripping hazards that could arise from overhead or wall-mounted connections. In a setting like a kitchen, where various appliances may be in use simultaneously, having a dependable power supply that can accommodate equipment within reach is crucial.

Overall, a cord-and-plug connection supports the need for mobility and versatility in equipment placement while ensuring compliance with safety standards in food service operations.
