Ok today I was working at a club that had a small 6 circuit panel feed with #8. one of our guys mentioned that there is a minimum feeder size and #8 is too small even though it was protected with a 40A bkr. The smallest allowed he said was #6. I did not recall reading this so I didnt say anything when he asked me if I knew that. I said I did not. Now I am at home and I read through art 215 and 220. Am I missing it or is he wrong? I always thought you could supply a panel with 10-3 if you wanted to if the conditions (loads) allowed.
