Bob: Thank you so much for posting this thread about the electric room (as hidious as its present state indicates). About a year ago, our local fire department took a "pre-fire-plan" tour of a new Wal Mart store that was opening here. Having the interest that I have in things electrical, as well as total ignorance of many facets of this business, I was surprised to see this large metal clad enclosure in the rear of the building. For all I knew, it appeared to be a large freezer of some sort, except for the fact that the doors were marked with "Danger High Voltage" signage and the area above the enclosure was filled with dozens and dozens of raceways of every imaginable size.

Of course, this particular element was left off the tour [Linked Image], so I particularly appreciate the link you posted.
