The area that this motor starter is in once housed the boilers for the building (mid 1960's). It still has a lot of pump and fan motors - all 600VAC with some having 600V controls. I have had to troubleshoot a few things in this area. The wiring that has been done on some of the equipment makes me nervous at times. Most of the time there will be two of us - four eyes and two brains are better. It was in this area that I first seen a 3 phase motor starter with O/L's on only two of three phases. The third had a factory metal jumper. Had to ask my supervisor, who has been in the trade for about 40 years, how many years back when that was code. He couldn't remember.
