[RE-wrenches] Splices in service panel

[August Goers]

Ray,



I’m intrigued by this. We’ve always gone off NEC 300.3(B):



(B) Conductors of the Same Circuit. All conductors of

the same circuit and, where used, the grounded conductor

and all equipment grounding conductors and bonding conductors

shall be contained within the same raceway, auxiliary

gutter, cable tray, cablebus assembly, trench, cable, or

cord, unless otherwise permitted in accordance with

300.3(B)(1) through (B)(4).



I interpret this to mean that we need to run neutrals along with any branch
circuits we are moving over.



Best,



August

Hi Chris;



Its the same as a switch leg for a light.  The neutral stays at the light,
only the hot is run down to the switch and back.

Also, with some critical load panel set ups available (ie Generac), there
is no provision to even run the neutrals to the new CLP.

This is cleaner and involves much less splicing.  Fewer connections is
usually better in my book.

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.
