William,

The tap conductor ampacity must not be less than the rating of the breaker
protecting that circuit, which in this case (if I understand the configuration
correctly) would be the main breaker in the panelboard.

Any smaller gauge would require its own OCP device of appropriate rating
if it's to be code-compliant.

Jamie:


Thanks for getting me started.  I did not think to consider this as
a tap, but it appears to match the criteria.
