If you didn't have the wire, I'd say Bus Duct and plug-in disconnect
taps for the big machines. But that stuff is /really/ pricy if you
have to pay full freight - they put it on car assembly lines so they
can swap out gear overnight.


Prices have gone thru the roof on that stuff of late. Last 200A plug-in bus
box I bought in June was $1200+! and that's _with_ our substantial
corporate discount. While we still have the bus duct, we have installed
cable tray over the machine lines, as we move machinery a _lot_. You don't
even have to redo the conduit riser usually, as it's just clamped to the
tray. The cables we installed from the bus duct are long enough to cover a
certian area under the tray, so you don't have to re-run wire when you move
equipment. Considerable cost savings.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
