Oversized wire

[Williamwallace]

I have 60A breakers with a form factor that uses more space in the panel than the 3 poles it occupies. (Don’t ask - data center RPP) Anyway to regain the lost space I want to simply replace the breakers with 50A units that use only 3 poles. Is there any reason I need to replace the branch circuit wire or recepatcles that are rated for 60A? (Load will never even approach the 50A limit) thanks.

You will need your electrician to help with this as we aren't allowed to assist non-electricians with electrical work.
