You're correct that it is a violation to exceed the 25% fill unless the seal off is listed for more fill.
6" seal? Bet that was expensive.
Another thing I notice about seals is that a lot of guys like to use fiberglass insulation for the packing instead of the listed fiber made by the manufacturer of the fitting.

thank you tom,
i have 8 gas turbines with generators that have this problem. what do you suggest would be the fix if the cables are installed?
can the code be disregarded? i beleive the intent of the code here is to acheive a proper seal...
i say that one violatation is as serious as another and that the situation should be brought into compliance...
this is a dc circuit that will carry a substantial current...
i want it fixed but it will be expensive...
