Hi All,
Been getting a few battery backup/time of use jobs lately.
My question is about moving circuits from the main panel to the "critical loads" panel. A friend of mine told me you cannot splice onto a circuit in the Main panel, extend it, then land in a new panel.
Basically he is saying you are not supposed to use a panel as a "pass through" wireway for a circuit. So, we have been pulling the circuits we want out of the main, getting them in a gutter, and then splicing them from there into the new panel.
Can anyone confirm or prove wrong his theory? Any code references to passing through a panel and not landing in it?
thanks
