Okie Breakfast Electrical outages...
Ron Thomas
Those ladies that were doing the cooking at Edna's Okie Breakfast. Had a frustrating experience with circuit breakers tripping out from the heavy electrical load. The load was generated from electric skillets, deep fryers and microwaves all trying to run simultaneously.
Investigation has found a simple fix for any future cooking expeditions of this magnitude. When the clubhouse was built the electrical code mandated that garbage disposals be given their own separate 20 amp circuit. This is the case in our kitchen at the clubhouse. Each of our disposals have their own 20 amp circuit breaker for an additional 40 amps available for a large cook out. All that is needed is for us to provide 2ea 10 foot, multi strip, outlet cords (one for each disposal outlet). That will more than provide for the extra electricity should we ever need it again.
