Mobile Pedestals — Expert Answer

Are there electrical code requirements for charging ports in mobile pedestals?

If a mobile pedestal includes an integrated electrical outlet or USB charging port connected to building power, the electrical installation must comply with NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 400 (flexible cords) and relevant local codes. Low-voltage USB charging (5V, 12V) via a UL-listed USB charger block plugged into a standard outlet is generally code-compliant without any special wiring. AC power outlets integrated into pedestal furniture require that the pedestal-to-outlet connection use UL-listed components and comply with NEC 400.8 (uses of flexible cords). Always use UL-listed charging accessories in any pedestal. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries pedestal accessories with UL-listed charging components — call 1-800-460-0858.
