We are going to be adding & moving some motors at a small industrial. The motors are outside and fed by a service located 200' away, one of two next to the POCO transformer bank. There are others in different locations. I asked the new manager which disconnect was for our group of motors. He pointed to a 200 amp switch and said that one shuts down the whole plant. Well over a 1000 hp. It took a while to explain that, No he has 7 service disconnets for the operation and he had just "lucked out" while fighting a small fire the last time. By the look on his face we will be doing some labeling at the very least.
