O.K.,
I'm confused here. Please help me.
Does this mean that Relocatable Power Taps are illegal?
I mean, hypothetically, if I have a duplex in the cubical wall at my desk and I have a laptop power supply, a desk light, an electric pencil sharpener, and a clock/radio loose on the desk top, must I install a second duplex? The things on my desk are not fixed.
Load is not an issue. . .looks like 200 VA total for my cubical.
Now, if I had fixed appliances at the desk, say a light fixture screwed to and mounted in the cabinet, a pencil sharpener mounted in the countertop like a high end food processor, a clock radio built into the cubical wall, etc., then I might argue I had to have fixed wiring for them, . . .
The UL White Book does not use the work "temporary or permanent" when describing the use for Relocatable Power Taps, thefore, the duration of its use is not specified.
Hypothetically, if I set up a desk on the side of a cubical partition that did not have an outlet, and then I drapped a relocatable power tap over the partition to my desk from another cubical's outlet, then I understand this to be a substitute for fixed wiring.
Inquiringly,
Al
