Tom,
The one I was working on is an extruder drive motor. That extruder is used for the final step for making ABS plastic pellets. The ABS resin and the addatives for color and other properties are fed into the extruder and and mixed and heated by the screws and forced out of the die head in about 130 3/16" strands that are then cooled in a water bath and sent to a pelletizer to cut them in to pellets about 3/16" long and then bagged, boxed or bulk shipped to the customer who will mold the plastic into a final product.
By the way those 8 535.3 kcmil DLOs were connected to 4 4/0s in the motor junction box. We had to add a box extension and a bus detail to make the transition from the size of wire required by the code to the internal motor armature leads.
