This is a 2/0 CU Feeder wire coming into the main subpanel on a 200A service. There are no nicks in the copper wire and from the front side everything looks good.
But upon further inspection, the tiniest bit of wire insulation is under the lug on the back side.
Does this pose any type of...
This is a solar tie in generating 22 amps max current, hence the 25a/2p breaker on the subpanel but is there any reason the breaker feeding the subpanel has to be an 80a/2p? Can it be a 50a/2p?

I have 6-6-6 triplex overhead that I'm running to a detached garage. At the weatherhead at the garage I'm going to splice 8 guage thhn copper to run down to the sub panel (approx 5' max of 8 guage at both ends of the run). This feeder will be on a 50a breaker.
