I would appreciate some input (criticisms or suggestions) on the following project. I have extremely limited space to run wires on this job, and what little space I have is very difficult to get to. Here's the deal:
I have a 200 amp FPE load center that that I will be eliminating and replacing with a new load center that will be relocated about 20 feet way in the basement below the existing FPE location. In order to save space, wire and a lot of labor costs I want to run a single service entrance neutral wire from the FPE neutral bus to the new load center neutral bus. I will then use the old FPE cabinet as a junction box to bring the two service entrance hots and all branch circuit hots down to the new load center. I will run a separate ground to the new load center.
Again the space I have to run wires is making the job a very difficult one, so I have to find a way to minimize.
