A client just purchased a repro hoouse and is fixing it up for use as a rental. The house is old and the service panel is in the kitchen. He wants to upgrade the service and move the service panel out of the kitchen. The problem is that the only logical place to move the panel is to the outside near the service entrance. A junction box can be mounted in the limited space attic above the old service panel with a scuttle hole beneath the hole for access. Extension cables can be run from the junction box to the new service panel. With the new panel outside, the extension cables will have to reach the panel via about 3 feet of conduit on the outside wall between the eve and the panel. is there any way to use NM extension cables or will conductors or cables rated for "wet" be required?
