120V Shore Power

Shoreline Disconnect Protocol

The Shoreline Disconnect Protocol is the standardized procedure for safely disconnecting a food trailer from a 120V shore power source. Proper execution of this protocol is critical to prevent electrical arcing, equipment damage, or injury when transitioning from a stationary setup to mobile operation. It is commonly followed when vendors depart from locations such as festivals, commissaries, or event venues.

Use in Food Trailers

  • Electrical Safety Ensures all circuits are powered down before disconnection to eliminate shock and arc flash risks.
  • Equipment Protection Prevents voltage spikes and connector wear that can damage appliances and onboard systems.
  • Operational Readiness Facilitates a seamless switch from shore power to generator or battery systems without service interruption.
  • Code Compliance Fulfills safety requirements under the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local health regulations for mobile food units.
  • Efficient Teardown Supports faster and safer end-of-day breakdowns, allowing teams to close operations cleanly and on schedule.

Vendor Tips

Before disconnecting, power down all appliances and switch off the main breaker. Clearly label shore power breakers and connectors to avoid confusion, and implement a visual checklist for closing procedures. Training all staff on the Shoreline Disconnect Protocol reduces risk, supports compliance, and protects critical electrical components.
