We need to know the size and type of transformer, Voltage, primary side overcurrent protection and what type of load is served.

Otherwise install a vire big enough for the size of the transformer. I can only guess that the #6 was connected to XO. If its a wire connected as a neutral and its a wye transformer 120/208 then again the wire is too small.
