old romex with a thinner ground

3 years ago

I understand that such romex should not be extended. I'm not going to do that. Instead I am doing some work on the panel and the old romex will no longer reach the breaker. So I want to use some modern romex from the panel to a junction box and connect it to the old romex. Is this legal?
