I am building a load shedding system which is in a cabinet adjacent to my load center. I have to run my heating circuits into this new box. But if the wires are not long enough and you can't make connections inside the load center cabinet, sp what is a guy supposed to do? Can you solder connections or something to make them compliant?
I can't find a reference to the CEC, but it is fairly closely aligned to the NEC used by our neighbours to the south. From what these references say, it is legal to make splices in a circuit breaker enclosure.

(A pet peeve of mine - it's in everyone's best interest if people follow the NEC (in America) or CEC (in Canada). Fewer people will be killed and less taxpayer money spent on fighting fires. Our federal governments should subsidize their production so that the NEC and CEC are available free of charge to everyone.)
