<p>Hi Dana;</p>
<p>What code section is he/ she referencing? Many times, wires are
left too short to land on a particular breaker or buss, so splices
in the load center happen even in regular electrical work. Our
inspectors here consider a load center the same as any other
electrical enclosure: subject to wire and splice fill
requirements. We've beaten this dead horse subject before, many
years back. <br>
</p>
<p>So your inspector would require you to tear into a finished wall
to install a gutter, just to relocate a breaker in the same panel,
and extend the circuit wire with a splice? What if you
accidentally cut one neutral wire a few inches short; suddenly you
need the custom plaster crew back out to patch? I've had MLPs
installed in walls with very expensive wall finishes. I'm not
tearing into that wall unless it's the only way. The majority of
inspectors are not electricians. <br>
</p>
<p>Code citations, please. <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
</p>
