Big Breaker switch for one of three phases of power coming into an industrial metal shop. I'm pretty sure it was a 50 amp breaker.. You can hear a transformer buzzing in the background and a fan start once the switch is thrown. Fairly roomy (being a large concrete garage type environment) but usable. Recorded on a Zoom h4.
