What is a nonmetallic extension?Is it the same as nm cable?
Article 382.
I am going to be inspecting a very old office building in the near future.
They are going to do some remolding.The plan is to install a new breaker panel in the rear of the building.The existing panel is in the front.They want to use the existing panel as a "J" box and run a conduit back to the new panel.Probably 6 circuits max.
My question is can they reuse the old 2/wire nm(no grounding conductor)?They would of course leave any 2/wire receptacles as 2/wire.The new wire installed in the conduit would contain an equipment grounding means.I would like some other peoples thoughts
Thanks Paul
