I have parallel 500 MCM Service Entrance Conductors I want to splice into to supply a 100 AMP Service Disconnect.
I understand I need to splice into both sets and use a minimum of 1/0 conductors. If I bring these parallel 1/0 conductors to the service disconnect it looks like I will end up having to use a 400 AMP frame OCPD for wire bending space and lug size, where I only need 100 AMP based on the load.
Is it permissable to reduce the parallel 1/0 to a single 2 awg per phase prior to landing or terminating on the service disconnect?
