Are there electrical code requirements for powering a benching system?

Yes — running power through a benching spine typically requires a licensed electrician and must comply with local NEC codes, including proper circuit loading and grounding. Most commercial buildings require a dedicated 20-amp circuit for every 6–8 bench seats to avoid tripped breakers. Integrated benching power modules are UL-listed, but the connection from the floor or wall to the module still needs a licensed install. Always pull a permit if your jurisdiction requires one.
