    In the last picture 3 mills, 3 readouts and 3 feeds are all plugged into one cable hung receptacle enclosure. Used to be 9 cables hanging around separately.

    Now I see what you're talking about.
    :binoculars:
    :yes:

    Nice repurpose.

    I thought it might be another "mad scientist" experiment, and was curious what the outcome was to resemble.

    Ingenious idea. I really like that. Are the machines all running the same voltage? I see you have different amp and style plugs...

    My exs grandmother was a tiny gal. I guess her husband was like 6 ft. They came from Poland. But he story I was told, he liked to go out and tip a few with the boys. Well guess she was mad at him and she pulled a chair over my the door to stand on. When he came home she climbed on the chair and when he walked in she hit on the head with a cast iron fry pan. I guess he turned around rubbing his head and said. What the he!! Ya doing women. :rofl: :lol:

    208 3 phase will give you 3 120 volt circuits with 1 neutral. I pulled 5 # 10 wires through 3/4" liquidtight, power, neutral and a ground. I will be installing fuses for the 6 120 5-15 receptacles as now they are fed 30 amps.
