My plans potentially changed this weekend when I came across a 20' piece of aluminum 4wire 4 gauge left over from a previous installation (ground appears to be a 6Gauge). I was going to run a 30 amp service to my brew room and use a 50amp GFCI spa panel for protection.
Now that I found the 4 gauge wire I have the wire capacity for the 50amp circuit (yes I have the panel capacity). but my question is. Will a standard 50amp circuit breaker have large enough connections for the 4 gauge wire? Also will the 50amp GFCI Home depot panel have adequate sized connectors?
I have a seimens panel that uses QP style breakers but I'm quite sure that won't make a difference.
