Looks good. You know someone will nit-pick. Here I go. I wouldn't of ran flex to the cabinet on the last picture (by McDonald's cup). It looks like that is going to get damaged. Maybe a condulet and a nipple would have been better. Now if they are going to build a guard around it, then that is a whole other situation.

Is that a drawing plant? Meaning they take large cables and make them smaller cables?
We had two plants like that here. One left and went back to France.

We have a cable company here too that twists and insulates electrical cables. Their name is Pirelli Cable. Great customer. Lots of big motors and drives. BIG stuff.

Did you build that panel, or just connect it?
