Panel Question

[blazenut]

(Jim is gonna love me for this one...)

Number one on your FAQ post:

Is it ok to use wire nuts in the panel?

And yes I would love a FAQ for all sections, that way i wont ask so many stupid questions that were answered before i found this site.

So... is it?

Yes, If you cannot put a wire nut inside a panel where can you put one?

[Richard Moore]

As Jim isn't here...

Yes, it is OK as long as the conductors eventually terminate within the panel. That's assuming appropriate wire nuts and you haven't overfilled the wiring space (tough to do).

Thanks, i wasnt sure if you should have the wires join in a junction box first and then head into the panel.

The inside of the panel is a giant junction box of sorts.
