[RE-wrenches] Splices in service panel

[Chris Mason]

You have to splice the load cabling in the main panel, otherwise you would
need to run new conduits and cables. There's nothing that I know of that
prevents you splicing wires.
I disagree with the response that you do not need to move the neutrals. You
should never have the load's phase wiring in one panel and the neutral in
another.
