Subject: Two wires to each leg feeding breaker box



East Central Arkansas
So coming from the main breaker at the meter there are two sets of wires going to the breaker box. Each leg of the breakers have two wires feeding them. The wire is # 2 awg aluminum. Does this increase the amp capacity of one # 2 and if so what size wire is it equal to. This has been this way since back in the 70's. The heavy loads for this building come from the main breaker to another breaker box mounted outside by the main breaker.
