That's what I'm asking, Dave. What do you consider excessive, and what do you base it upon? I'm just curious.

I basically use my own discretion on each panel. If a panel and wiring installation is perfect and I find insulation jackets that are not cut back I let go anything under an inch. If I find a panel with several wiring defects, I simply add the excessive insulation jacket to the list.
