I would say it's telephone or possibly CATV.
The cable/splice case on the left is telephone,
and the cable might be lead sheathed pulp, as it does not appear to be melted.

The piping from the silencer appears to be mounted in space reserved for electrical conductors entering that panel per 110.26 Spaces About Electrical Equipment.
Sufficient access and working space shall be provided and maintained about all electric equipment to permit ready and safe operation and maintenance of such equipment. Enclosures housing electrical apparatus that are controlled by lock and key shall be considered accessible to qualified persons.
(F) Dedicated Equipment Space. All switchboards, panelboards, distribution boards, and motor control centers shall be located in dedicated spaces and protected from damage.
Exception: Control equipment that by its very nature or because of other rules of the Code must be adjacent to or within sight of its operating machinery shall be permitted in those locations.
(1) Indoor. Indoor installations shall comply with 110.26(F)(1)(a) through (d).
(a) Dedicated Electrical Space. The space equal to the width and depth of the equipment and extending from the floor to a height of 1.8 m (6 ft) above the equipment or to the structural ceiling, whichever is lower, shall be dedicated to the electrical installation. No piping, ducts, leak protection apparatus, or other equipment foreign to the electrical installation shall be located in this zone. -- Tom Horne [This message has been edited by tdhorne (edited 05-05-2006).]

However, as noted above, the original panel location was about 10' away, which means that the current panel was installed after the silencer.

Sorry I didn't see the earlier question.
The charred cable on the right is (or was) a phone line.
The lines on the left are a lineset for an airconditioner that services this E-room.
The suction line's insulation when in its normal condition is compressed slightly by the strut clamps.
There are 2-500KVA transformers in this room too, so it's pretty warm in there.
