Installing a 100A subpanel in a shed located approx. 250 feet from the main panel.
The question is: Taking voltage drop into consideration, I was planning on using size 2/0 wire. However, this wire is to loarge to connect to the breaker. Is there some sort of terminal that can be used to reduce the size of the cable at the connection? If this is done, doesn't it defeat the fact that I upsized the cable in the first place?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
