Sorry, HighPotter... first time poster....

I am looking for metal J-box with copper buss work to distribute 15 kV within the building. J-box will be installed in HV room in the building. 3 phase 600A max. One incoming feed from switchgear will be distributed to 6 substations.

Do you mean bus duct?

I think he means trouble. A piece of switchgear, even something as simple as pad-mount switchgear, that provides a switch for each feeder would be far safer and less troublesome. Adding overcurrent protection for each feeder would be a vast improvement. This isn't 480V work; a j-box as described would be HUGE.

As mentioned, you should split your feed into 6 outside at your main, and then run 6 cables into your facility to your 6 stepdowns.

Look at:

Gentlemen,
Thank you for replies.
Yes, I know about all problems associated with J-box configuration. I will be happy to install S&C Vista line-up, but money is an issue (and physical size of equipment).
Original system (with 3 J-boxes 1in-3out)worked for last 35 years (indoor installation, no dust, scheduled shutdowns for cleaning, DLRO connections, visual inspections).

Do you mean bus duct?
Kind of... with bolt-in cable logs.
