Dedicated 30A Shore Power Outlet Installed in Matthews, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch completed a specialized outlet installation for Cantey Foundation Specialists in Matthews, NC. On January 8, 2025, our technician Viktor Opalko installed a dedicated 30-amp circuit and shore power outlet positioned at the front of the facility to reliably power foam trucks and similar equipment.

This project was part of our Outlets & Switches service line and focused on safe, stable power delivery for vehicle and equipment shore power needs—ideal for businesses that require dependable power without idling or portable generators.

Scope of Work

Installed a dedicated 30A circuit expressly for shore power use.
Added a new 30-amp single-pole breaker sized for the application.
Ran approximately 200 feet of 8/2 copper cable to reach the front-of-facility outlet location.
Set a 30-amp shore power outlet in an accessible position for quick truck hookups.
Provided two 35-foot heavy-duty 30A extension cords for flexible connection distance.

The result is a clean, dedicated power solution designed to reduce nuisance trips and ensure consistent operation for trucks and equipment that need shore power while parked.

Why a Dedicated 30A Circuit for Shore Power?

Reliability: A standalone 30-amp line prevents other loads from interfering with equipment power needs.
Capacity for Motors and Heaters: Common truck accessories can draw higher current; a dedicated circuit supports those demands.
Reduced Voltage Drop: Using 8/2 copper for a roughly 200-foot run helps maintain stable voltage under load.
Convenience: A front-of-facility outlet shortens setup time and minimizes cable clutter across work areas.
Safety and Organization: Clearly labeled circuits and designated receptacles help teams connect confidently and avoid overloading general-use outlets.
