I am running a service line to my cabin from a metered power pedestal. Under the advice of an electrician that was helping me with the project I bought the wire he suggested and put in and buried about 150 feet of line. The cable has four wires; one large, two mid size and one small. However my power pedestal only has three terminals, although my breaker panel as four. How can I adapt this to work?
