10/3 Wire split
Hello friends, I have a 10/3 wire (my 30amp service line) from the inlet to the breaker box and between the two I have a cut in the insulation. I'm wanting to splice the wire and put in a new piec...

This sounds like what I'm going to do for the solution. Since there is no slack in the wire I'm going to use a new piece from the splice to the inlet which is only about 24 inches away. I wanted everyone's opinion for seeing what options I had and to know if I used wire nuts that it wouldn't create a fire hazard since it is the main 30amp line.
I feel much better about it now. That will be my next project after I get these volt/amp meters installed.
What a mess I have. I have two AC and one DC meter going in so I can see all my usages in one spot. Yay for projects!
Thank you all for your feedback.

The only damage is the exposed portion
Install a junction box, and splice in your new piece of Romex, it's just 3 wire nuts, RED ONES are the correct size for 10ga Romex,
Tape wrap each wire nut splice separately
I use the hard plastic wire nuts, I do not like the soft scotch lock brand, I've had Too many where the soft outside came loose from the inside steel core,
