2000V #6-3 SOW Cable feeding a 200A panel for a dining hall. This hall will be used for the upcoming music festival. I removed the panel cover so I could check voltage drop and amperage concerns after seeing this feed.

With the fryer, lights and oven and cooler running, the current reads about 88 amps per leg... The voltage? 108V and 109V ... That doesn't include coffee pots, beer coolers, heat lamps, etc. etc.

I'm told the feed is fed from a 70A Breaker. (?) It comes from across the road (through rigid pipe not buried) from a dwelling about 250' away, but there is 500' of cable looped back and forth... (the owner didn't want to cut the cable...)

I asked a maintenance man about the dining hall and "no one has had any trouble..." He also said "It's mining wire, it'll handle that building..."

If you look closely, the White Conductor (Hot) and Red Conductor (Neutral) have a small green companion... it appears to be steel cable with a non-dielectric green covering. (Like clothes line wire!)

I will be typing up a disclaimer to cover myself here...
