Hello,
We are considering installing a new residential panel approximately 8ft from the existing panel. The old panel would become a junction box for multiple circuits to be extended to the new box and all breakers removed.
1. Is it ok to junction the wire for a standard electric stove/oven wire? Can it be done in a manner that the junction will be safe and durable? If so, what type of wire connectors are best for a durable, safe, and long-lasting solution?
2. Another consideration is to keep the existing panel with some of the breakers in it and extend some of the circuits using the existing panel as a junction box for some of the circuits. Is this acceptable?
Thank you in advance for any replies
