A client is paranoid about EMF. She bought one of those hand-held EMF meters and has been scanning her house. There is a subpanel in an upstairs bedroom closet that registers a small reading on her meter (because the hot and neutral wires separate to go to the breaker and neutral bus, they don't cancel each other out). I've tried to explain there is no heath hazard from this tiny amount of EMF, but she is insisting on relocating the subpanel downstairs. But even after doing that, there will have to be a junction box in that closet to splice the old branch circuits to the stub-up wiring from the new subpanel. To keep the EMF from the junction box to an absolute minimum (just so I can avoid any more headaches from this), I want to keep each pair of hot and neutral as close and as parallel as possible. My thought was to use insulated crimp-on butt-splice connectors to join the wires, and then tape each hot/neutral pair together to simulate a continuous cable.
Would this be compliant?
