  39. Questions for the Fire Department?

  40. Electrical: John Kafura • Power source is listed in your packet • From a pole – planter – traffic light

  41. Electrical • MANDATORY EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENT • Extension cords to properly carry a 20-amp load must be 12-gauge 3-wire size not to exceed 25 feet or check with our electrician. YES NO

  42. Electrical • Electricians will come around and check your cords and if they are not correct you will be asked to either buy the right cords or get them somehow. Smaller cords will overheat and cause safety problems.

  43. 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).

  44. Electrical • To determine the amount of power you will need, check the rating plates on appliances, and total their usage. • Should not exceed 20 amps or 2400 watts. • 1 amp=120 watts, 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.

  45. Electrical Do’s and Don’t’s for Safety • DO NOT use tape to hold cords onto poles. Use twine or rope to secure your cords if necessary. Tape leaves a sticky residue on the poles and becomes a dirt catcher. • Place cords around your booth in a manner they do not become a hazard to your workers or your customers. • Keep excess cord coiled or folded neatly so no one trips on it

  46. Electrical Do’s and Don’t’s for Safety • Do not place cords on the sidewalks. • In case of rain, unplug your cords from the outlets. Place cords up out of the gutter area and cover areas where the cords are plugged together. Plastic bags work well for this.

  47. Questions on Electrical

  48. Health Department: Permits • All vendors processing food need to have a permit • Two options: • Non-profit permit from the Appleton Health Department • Work with a vendor that already has a state license
