120V Shore Power

Shore Power Breaker

A Shore Power Breaker is a dedicated circuit breaker installed in a food trailer to manage and protect the incoming 120V or 240V shore power connection. It prevents electrical overloads, short circuits, and other hazards by interrupting power when unsafe conditions are detected. This breaker also allows operators to disconnect shore power safely during maintenance, transport, or setup. Shore power breakers are essential when trailers connect to external power sources at commissaries, events, or commercial sites.

Use in Food Trailers

  • Overload Protection: Interrupts power during overcurrent situations to prevent system damage.
  • Safe Disconnection: Enables manual shutoff of shore power before performing electrical work or moving the trailer.
  • Code Compliance: Supports adherence to local and national electrical codes, improving safety and inspection readiness.
  • System Organization: Provides a clear point of control within the trailer’s electrical layout for maintenance and upgrades.
  • Fire Risk Reduction: Minimizes the risk of fire from short circuits or faulty external connections.
  • Efficient Setup: Streamlines connection to external power sources with a centralized breaker interface.

Mistakes to Avoid

Always match the breaker’s amperage rating to the shore power source to avoid nuisance trips or equipment failure. Never bypass the breaker or use temporary or unapproved wiring methods, as these can result in severe safety risks and code violations. Inspect the breaker regularly for wear, corrosion, or malfunction to ensure continued safe operation.
