Sherman | Also: If the authority having jurisdiction says no to in–panel-box splices, you can identify the cable leaving the panel box and make the splice in a junction box near the panel instead of in the panel. But you really should map out your circuits first to make sure you're not going to give yourself brownouts on that circuit. | |
