The three main things are the type of wire (Pure copper versus copper clad aluminum), the gauge of the wire and the length. When you use a reducer, the size and material are inconsequential (as 1/0 or 2/0 AWG reducers are going to be rather large anyway) so the only thing left is the length. Reducers are far too short to contribute any real resistance and therefore are not a bottleneck as they may appear to be. Think fuses, 2-3 inches long on that fat wire, a little 8th” wide by 1/2" long metal strip in the middle passes the rated current and its a tiny piece of material, but very short in length.</p></blockquote><p></p>
