I assume that the 13.8, 4kv and 480 cables are in individual ducts. I hope so.
Your post was concerned about the terminal temperature. I do not think this is a problem with the 13,8 and 4 kva cables since the load is not likely to be near the max capacity of the cable. It might be a problem with the 480 volt cables. One thing you need to check is the panel terminal for the 480 volt service. If its old it might have 60C terminals. It new it has 75C termsinals.
"They also had a 100 pair phone cable in this bank passing thru the manholes. I feel per 800.11 A this cannot be in there. (cables pass thru several manholes)This is all customer owned."
The communication installation is not per the code unless there is a barrier intalled per 800.11. You might be able to split a sch 80 conduit and get an ok from the inspector. I hope these are racked on the oposite side of the man hole.
"Also since theses are all feeders a Ground wire sized per overcurrent device in all conduits required."
I think you mean an equipment grounding conductor. The 480 volt service should have an EGC per table 250.122.
What do the 13.2 and 4 kv serve?
