Electric Panel ---------------------------- Based on the answers you have proposed, Electric Panel is the correct choice. However, I do not know of any requirement in the NEC that prohibits the sheathing from extending further into the panel. There is a requirement that it must extend through the connector, but I know of no NEC requirement on when it must stop. --Sparkfighter


Should electrical wire sheathing project no more than about an inch into the electric panel?

When I wire a panel, the outer insulation of the romex does not extend past the romex connector, after the actual conductors have been neatly shaped to the ground / neutral bar and the line has been brought to the breaker the insulation of the hot & neutral is then stripped exposing 1/4 inch of copper then landed.


Can you use electrical tape to tape up a split in the wire insulation of a 50 amp cord?

Yes you can. Most electrical tape is rated for 600 volts for each wrap. Carefully check the conductors inside the cord at the split. If they are cut, you'll need to tape those cuts first. Then thoroughly tape the split on the outer sheathing of the cord. This is not a permanent repair and the cable should be replaced as soon as possible, particularly if it is to be used outdoors.
