Mike Correct. that is the main service feed/ CT can. It hard to tell from the pictures but a large furnace is only 18" in front of the FPE panel. Also the panel inside the chase with all the loose wiring is 8' above the floor above the wall with all the junky outlets. Also I did not take off any panel or covers when I took these photos. Some of the panel covers are long gone. And yes the panels in the kitchen are greasy. If the bank comes thru I'll be working a lot of hours.

On the last pic,("page 4") the 3ph disco, is that melted tar or potting compound on the right side? From the CT cabinet, maybe?

still waiting on the bank. Now having to try to find out why they have higher electric bills when mostly closed than when they were open during the season.

It's the electricity leaking out of those panels without the covers... When (or if) this job works out, I hope you'll supply some "after" pics. Mike (mamills)

Definitely would like to see your work afterwards. AND, if you don't mind, I'd like to see your punch list for all of the stuff you did.
Whenever I've ended up in a fubar situation (none this bad) I've had to draw a schematic and label things on paper. It's too much for my memory.

I have seen this in these types of occupancies before, and then a new ownere takes over and finds distress when they find the truth to the cost.
In one photo, I see the panel door open from the right side. I have yet to see this before. Is this the print backwards or the real way?

That is the way that panel door is. Actually it is one of the few panel doors or covers that are still there. All the others that show no panel covers are that way and the covers are long gone. right now the power company's bill is for more than when the place was open for the season. I put a recorder on the main power leads and got less than 1/3 the KWH the power company is billing for. the power there is 120/240 3phase center tapped celta feed. Actual voltage is A phase 125 to gnd B phase 218 to gnd C phase 124 to gnd 243 phase to phase. Hve a meeting with the power company's meter people and the customer service guy tommarrow. Bank is still dragging feet.

looks like someone was running the add-a-panel technique there. Why buy a big one, get the small one, oh we need some mor circuits, mount another small one, and so on...
