OK, long story short. Building out an attic space. Hired electrician to do electrical work. City's electrical inspector came out and dinged the work on three areas (tamper resistant plugs, number of outlets, and need for AFCI combo breakers). On replacing the standard breaker with the new AFCI breaker, I've run into a problem. The neutral white wire that use to connect to the grounding bar is too short to connect to the AFCI breaker.
My question is: how do I connect the too short neutral wire to the AFCI breaker? Would it be a "no no" to just to connect it to another wire with a wire nut to lengthen it?
Thanks
BTW electrician not returning phone calls, hence the DIY project
