Gbbrwh:
Have you called your local AHJ?????
You have a piece of industrial equipment.
Your link states it was made in 1968
The #8's that you have in the track; what kind of wire/cable and what insulation??
Talk to your local AHJ! Explain the facts of the situation to him... Certain situations can receive "special permission", but get it in writing.
IF you presented your situation to me, and had engineering documentation to "back-it-up" more than likely, I would grant special permission.

Your link also mentions 4160 volt as the power supply, is that correct.
