    Relocating sub panel 120/208 4 wire.
    Can I use a junction box to splice my feeder wires. I would like to see if code allow that. And if the code says I can not do that what are my options beside running a new set of wires. Can you please help?

    Thank you.

    Sure, just that the box needs to be accessible. A min of 8x8x6 for #2 - 4 wire cable should be fine.
