Can someone help answer this question. This is supposed to be a 3phase 60 amp disconnect. When reading between phase to phase it came up as 210v would this be enough to power a 3 phase 240v bakery mixer. I attached the wires the mixer came with to be hooked up to the load side of disconnect. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fTdSBhFumra8VQLz8
 
In that case, it ought to work; you're within 10% low.

230 - 23 = 107. 220 - 22 = 198.
Would there be any long term effects of running it on 210 ? I still have to see how many amps this thing needs as that picture was the only visible plate on the entire mixer
 
OMG, looking at that data plate I see all kinds of issues here.
Give me the old days ( early 1970's ) when just about every motor was made in the good old USA and had clear easy to read stamped metal information plates. My company ordered spare motors from 40 to 100 HP. All were made in lack of quality control Communist china. The 100 HP motor had a falling off aluminum stick on tag that stated to use supply conductors rated for at least 110 degrees C. .Told them to return at least the corner cutting 100 HP motor.
 
While on this topic is it possible he's lost a phase and would account for the odd 210 reading on the line side of disconnect?

I think everyone is assuming that when you said 210 it was about that reading for all three line-to-line phase readings. Perhaps you should clarify.

If all three line-to-line voltages are 210, I would be willing to bet a sandwich it's a 208V system running 2 volts high.

If any line-line or line-ground voltages are different from the others, tell us what they are.
