I have a request to see if I can add a junction box for a secondary feed to a recycling machine. Presently the feed from the MDP to the safety switch servicing the recycling machine is in tact. I am moving the recycling machine 40 feet and must move the safety switch with it obviously. Now I would like to put in a junction box where the secondary from the MDP to the safety switch used to be connected. I will then add new power cable to go from the junction box to where the safety switch will be relocated. This way I do not have to add a whole new power cable from the MDP to where the safety switch will be relocated.
The circuit is 208/120volt, 3phase, 200Amps. I am using 200 amps as a worse case estimate for the recycling machine based on circuit breakers I saw in the MDP. It was a 400amp, 3 phase 208/120volt MDP with breakers ranging from 125amps to 200amps.
