Thanks for the input guys. Yes it is a subpanel in question. I will have a maximum of 30 amps unbalanced load on the neutral at this point. So if I wanted to, I could feasibly use a # 10 neutral, though I won't for future expansion sake. I believe I got it straight now, and it's helped me tremendously to understand the difference between the service and feeder conductor requirements for neutrals.. Steve

I need to ask again is the supply to the service that supplies this panel single phase or three phase. A single phase feeder that is supplied from a three phase wye connected service will have as much current on the neutral as on the most heavily loaded phase conductor. The neutral currents in a single phase feeder that is supplied from a three phase wye connected service DO NOT CANCEL.
