Ok, I think I finally see it. It looks like there might be a slight violation on a few of those cables. Less than 6" of free conductor.

Those are Power Distribution Blocks. They're often used in machinery control cabinets, right after the main disconnect. The smaller wires are run to individual fuses or C/Bs.

Ironically, the 3 pole model costs, by itself, just about the same amount as a small load center and 8 single pole C/Bs

so they took a 12-2 from a 50 amp breaker
Now we know why they didn't put in it an enclosure. The 12-2 needs all the free-flow ventilation it can get! [Linked Image]

I got it. There is no fireproofing in those wall penetrations.
