Hello wrenches, We run into many scenarios where we are locating a critical load panel adjacent to an existing service to make it easy to move the loads. I've always taken it for granted (as have the electricians that we use) that we can't do a splice in the main panel and extend the load wiring to the critical load panel. Is there code violation for doing a splice in the main panel and extending the leads to the critical panel? You would be treating the service panel as a pass-trough/splice box for those critical loads.
It makes me wonder because of all of the prewired transfer switch packages with wire whips already attached that seem to be designed to do just that. Code references would be appreciated. Thanks -- Mac Lewis *"Yo solo sé que no sé nada." -Sócrates*
