On a current project we have uncovered a feeder that leaves the switchgear as 2 sets of 4/600kcmils with a #1 grounding conductor. Enters a junction box on it's routing where they used clear taps, and it switches to 3 sets of 3/300kcmils with a #2 that was changed from grounding conductor to grounded (neutral) conductor. In the junction box with the clear taps, all of the conductors of that phase are landed on this.
This feeder needs to be rerouted around a vertical shaft. And we definitely want to bring it up to code but really have been caught off guard with the setup.
Is it to code already? Is this a common practice? I have been in the industrial field for almost 30 years and never ran across a setup like this. Any input would be helpful.
