connection at the breaker box
Hello,
I need a temporary 240 volt connection at the breaker box. I was wondering if it would be acceptable if I just use a well protected flexible cord with a receptacle on the other end for the connection. The receptacle will obviously be in a metal gang box to protect it. I only plan on having the flexible cord only about a foot long.
Thank you

Yes, there will be a breaker. I was just wondering if the flexible cord at one foot would be ok. I usually see these cords from the breaker box to the metal gang box enclosed in metal conduit. However, I only intend it to be one foot long with cord that I think is acceptable.
Thanks

The code answer is no, it's not acceptable. There's no difference between temporary and permanent. Would it be ok for a short time? Probably. I would want to make sure everything is secured well, even though it's temporary. It's easy to trip over a cord and cause a big problem.
