Is it always required to secure NM wire within 12” if entering a service panel?
Specifically, if the wires are coming through holes in joists directly above the panel where there’s 12” or less between the holes in the joists and the cable clamp entering the panel.
if it would be necessary to secure them, the only neat way I can see to do so would be to lower the entire panel, which would mean running new SE wire and would probably also require replacing some of the runs where the existing wire isn’t long enough to reach the lowered panel.
TIA
