Splicing between panel and equipment?

[thewire]

Here is the situation:
This is what assessment and what I see
Electrical panel was relocated to another side of the wall due to water leaking thru an air vent. The old panel is corroded. The old existing cables are not long enough to be terminated at the "new" panel. They ran pigtails from the "new" panel to the old cable and splice them with those plastic plug twist in.

Each of the circuits has a home run from the equipment to panel, with share ground. Does NEC allow those splicing? I am pretty all the cables probably required rewiring with new conductors due to corrosion from previous leak. The leak probably still need to be fix.

Yes you can splice as many times as you want.

As far as the damage and if things needed to be replaced is impossible to say without seeing it.

As the previous poster said, without seeing the extent of whatever damage there is, it is hard to make a determination of what can be reused.

The splices will have to be in an accessible location, and I do not know what you mean by "plastic plug twist in".

Is this NM?

Sorry..brain fart this morning. I am talking about the winged nut or twist and splice connector. So, I could splice as many location I wants and NEC code has nothing on it for equipment usage?

not certain what splicing method is being used either.

If splicing at the old panel location - you may need at least a "drip proof" enclosure to contain the splices and shield them from the leaking water.

Ya..that is not the case on this situation. The junction box that was use as a Drip proof has been rusted out. I guess, because of the brackish water around the area
