I'm going to have to change out a 200 amp 3 phase 30 circuit panel out, to a 42 circuit panel Saturday, with a 2" feeder in the bottom. The new panel is 9" longer than the existing one. I have around 10 or 12 pipes in the top ( 1/2" and 3/4") and only (2) 1/2" pipes and (1) 2" feeder pipe in the bottom. I'm thinking at this point it might be simpler to cut the pipe at the bottom than at the top. I've cut 1/2" plenty of times with a small tubing cutter with the wires in it, but never had to cut 2". I've looked on the net to find a cutter and "Ridgid" makes one that will cut 2", but it has the standard long handle on it, and I need to find one that is ratcheded
(if that's a word:)). Anyone know of such a thing?? Pulling the wires out at the bottom is not an option. It goes through concrete, and is fed from the main service gear 100 or so feet away. Thanks for the input.. Steve
