50-ampere supply cord is required.
For SI units: one square foot = 0.093 square meter; one foot = 0.3048 meter.
(c) Optional Method of Calculation for Lighting and Appliance Load.
For mobile homes, the optional method for calculating lighting and appliance load shown in Section 220-30 and Table 220-30 shall be permitted.
550-14. Interconnection of Multiple Section Mobile Home Units.
(a) Fixed-type Wiring. Approved and listed fixed-type wiring methods
shall be used to join portions of a circuit that must be electrically joined
that are located in adjacent sections of mobile homes after the home is
installed on its support foundation. The circuit's junction shall be accessible for disassembly when the home is prepared for relocation.
ARTICLE 550 - MOBILE HOMES AND MOBILE HOME PARKS

(b) Disconnecting Means. Multiple section mobile homes not having
permanently installed feeders, and that are to be moved from one location
to another, shall be permitted to have disconnecting means with branchcircuit protective equipment in each unit where so located that, after
assembly or joining together of units, they shall not be interconnected on
either the line side or the load side, except that the grounding means shall
be electrically interconnected.
(FPN): Subsection (b) above applies to connection of previously constructed
mobile homes where multiple feeder assemblies were allowed. The present Code
does not permit more than one cord or feeder to a mobile home.
550-15. Outdoor Outlets, Fixtures, Air-Cooling Equipment, Etc.
(a) Listed for Outdoor Use. Outdoor fixtures and equipment shall be
listed for outdoor use. Outdoor receptacle or convenience outlets shall be
of a gasketed-cover type for use in wet locations.
(b) Outside Heating Equipment, Air-Conditioning Equipment, or Both.
A mobile home provided with a branch circuit designed to energize outside
heating equipment or air-conditioning equipment, or both, located outside
the mobile home, other than room air conditioners, shall have such branchcircuit conductors terminate in a listed outlet box, or disconnecting means,
located on the outside of the mobile home. A label shall be permanently
affixed adjacent to the outlet box and contain the following information:
This connection is for heating and/or air-conditioning equipment.
The branch circuit is rated at not more than
amperes,
at
volts, 60-Hertz,
conductor ampacity. A disconnecting means shall be located within sight of the equipment.
The correct voltage and ampere rating shall be given. The tag shall be
not less than 0.020-inch (508-micrometer) thick etched brass, stainless
steel, anodized or alclad aluminum, or equivalent. The tag shall not be less
than 3 inches (76 mm) by 1³/₄ inches (44.5 mm) minimum size.
C. Services and Feeders
550-21. Distribution System. The mobile home park secondary electrical
distribution system to mobile home lots shall be single-phase, 120/240
volts, nominal. For the purpose of Part C, where the park service exceeds
240 volts, nominal, transformers and secondary distribution panelboards
shall be treated as services.
(FPN No. 1): See Table 550-22 for calculation of load.
(FPN No. 2): See Section 550-4(b) for mobile homes not located in mobile home
parks.
550-22. Minimum Allowable Demand Factors. Park electrical wiring systems shall be calculated (at 120/240 volts) on the larger of (1) 16,000 voltamperes for each mobile home lot or (2) the load calculated in accordance
with Section 550-13 for the largest typical mobile home that each lot will
accept. It shall be permissible to compute the feeder or service load in
accordance with Table 550-22. No demand factor shall be allowed for any
other load, except as provided in this Code.
