Small commercial pizza kitchen all TP&N equipment.

[sparkdog]

I would appreciate any advice on a job I have coming up which is a small pizza production kitchen.All the equipment is fixed floor standing with their own built in DOL switches.The main item is a pizza tractor/conveyor belt oven 32A plug and three processing machines with small motors 16A plugs.The walls are white gloss painted brick and I think I will use white PVC conduit to industrial sockets for each machines,each with its own rotary isolator and type C MCBS.All wiring is on the surface and the user is a skilled chef so I would think I don't need any RCDs?

Unless for some reason the manufacturers instruction asked for them then no, if your running the installation in surface conduit.

Have you done a risk assessment on trailing leads ?

totally agree with Malcolm, i would change the trailing leads to the machines to SY cable as I have done a few takeaways etc, its usually the kitchen hands that have to pull the machines out for cleaning and they are not that careful when they do, plus SY is mechanically protectected and will terminate nicely into the plugs with an SWA gland.
