AssuredElectrical :

Hi, Welcome to Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXX would be glad to assist.

AssuredElectrical :

If most of the load will be 240 volt breakers, then reduce to a #10 for neutral and ground.

AssuredElectrical :

If the panel will serve 120 volt breakers for the most part without know the load, keep neutral at #8 and ground at #10 to be safe

Customer :
