Question: Can you have a splice in the service panel?Say you run a circuit and the wire is 4 or 5" short...can you splice onto it to make it long enough to reach ...whatever?
No, you cannot have a splice in the service panel.The service panel is the main electrical panel that distributes electricity to your home. It is important to keep the service panel free of splices because splices can create a fire hazard. If you need to extend a wire in the service panel, you should use a wire nut or a terminal block.
