New (to me) grinder

I guess the "3-phase" thing does beg for a bit of explanation.   I own and manage a four story office building with a set of detached garages in the parking lot.  At one point I had one of the garage spaces rented out to a telecommunications company who needed climate control and single phase 240v for their equipment.  The company leasing the space evaporated with changes to cell phone technology so I was left with an empty semi-insulated garage space with a furnace/air conditioner unit installed.  Since the office has many 3-phase pumps for it's HVAC system and elevator all the power (120v, 240v, & 240 3-phase - actually 208v in this case) is derived from the initial three phase feed.

The power that was run out to the garages consisted of two legs of the three phase system.  When I decided to turn that space in to a shop I felt it would be in my best interest to pull out the other leg so I would have 3-phase.  Here was my setup for the "pull" and before I replaced the breaker box:



The solo wire pull was not fun BTW but it paid for itself in spades for the long run.

FWIW   Oh, and I am in the Omaha area not Kearney.
