    Overhead machinery power feed

    Acquired a lathe recently. The lathe is 5 hp single phase, so I'll be direct wiring it (no plug/receptacle). Based on where it is located, I'd like to bring the power in from overhead, as shown in my crude diagram below. Red square will be a 4" sq x 2 1/8" deep box mounted to the the ceiling...
